WEBINAR: FIELD EDUCATION IN SOCIAL WORK UNDER CORONA CRISIS: Learning from Southeast European and North American Perspective(s)<\/strong><\/p>\n

DESCRIPTION<\/strong>: Corona crisis has tremendously impacted \u2018normal\u2019 functioning of all our social system, including (higher) education.\u00a0 Virtually overnight, schools and universities were asked to digitalize, distance learning became a new magic word, but the problem is that it does not always work. Unlike \u2018hard\u2019 sciences which exclusively engage in transmission of theoretical knowledge, in professional education, such as social work, field (practice) education has traditionally been a crucial part of social work training. Its task was to facilitate smooth integration of social work\u2019s knowledge, skills, and values, and to mediate adaption of social work\u2019s professional culture among future practitioners. Following Shulman\u2019s conception of \u2018signature pedagogy\u2019, many social work scholars embraced the conception of field education as a \u2018signature pedagogy\u2019 for professional development in social work. \u00a0However, the current crisis (and social responses to it) imposed drastic changes to both contexts of learning, to universities (schools of social work) and to institutions of professional practice. Causally, the space for meaningful integration of \u2018theoretical\u2019 and \u2018practice\u2019 knowledge as well as key professional values has been limited.<\/p>\n

By bringing together leading academics in the field of social work from SEE and North America, the webinar Field Education in Social Work under Corona Crisis: Learning from Southeast European and North American Perspective(s) \u00a0<\/strong>aims to explore: – models (role, achievements, and limitations) of integration of field education in pre-pandemic time, – changes brought by corona pandemic (e.g., the effects of the transition to online teaching at the universities and policies of restricted access and physical distancing in practice institution (centers for social work) and \u2013 new models of field education for (post)pandemic era.<\/p>\n
