Abstract: In recent years, a consensus has been reached that ethics training is extremely important in social work. However, there are no widely recognized teaching methods, especially for building reflexivity. Carrying out a qualitative interpretive meta-synthesis in 33 Chinese and English articles about social work ethics education, the article summarizes 11 teaching methods and analyzes strategies or ideas based on these methods, which can be divided into three types, including ensuring knowledge before practice, integrating knowledge and practice, and internalizing reflexivity(which is rational and intuitive, skill-based, character-based and heterogeneous). In future research and practice, Chinese social work scholars should endeavor to incorporate the strengths of these teaching strategies into the pedagogical design to build a comprehensive social work ethics education system in line with China’s condition.

Key words: social work, ethical dilemma, reflexivity, teaching methods, teaching ideas
