Abstract: Through three iterations of social work practice courses, the method of educational action research is used to continuously refine the teaching content and explore ways to enhance students’ knowledge transformation. The findings suggest that students’ knowledge transformation is characterized by the strengthening of beliefs, the accumulation of practical experience, and the reconstruction of personal values. Students navigate various processes during their knowledge transformation, including addressing practice challenges, reflecting on their practices, engaging in discussions centered on practice, and developing practical guidelines. This process encompasses from activating and reconstructing theoretical knowledge to constructing and generating, externalizing and sharing, as well as internalizing and integrating practical knowledge. It also highlights the importance of establishing good relationships between participants in the educational setting to facilitate this transformation process.

Key words: knowledge transformation, practical teaching, social work, educational action research, transformative learning
