Our contribution aims to identify the emotional dimensions brought into play in students during the involvement of experienced experts in social work training. We conducted an unsystematic review of scientific and gray literature. In addition, we rely on empirical data that comes from a secondary analysis of individual interviews with students and experienced experts who have been stakeholders in various pedagogical practices involving users at the School of Social Work of the University of Sherbrooke. Four emotional dimensions have thus been identified: emotional reciprocity, emotional intelligence, emotional engagement as well as emotional impact. These notions allow us to reflect on the contribution of initial training in social work in a context of the involvement of experienced experts.
