This paper contains our reflections on the experience of using capacity building model to train Chinese social work students in practicums. The capacity building approach subscribes to critical pedagogy which challenges the traditional top-down model of education. It helps to transform students from passive learner to reflective subjects with critical curiosity about society, power, inequality, and social change. By employing the approach of dialogical education, we encouraged students reflect and demystify the "expert-client" power relationship in social work profession and finally rediscover the practice model in the context of Chinese society.
