Sport és felzárkóztatás: Underclassbeli fiatalok sport általi emancipációjának lehetőségei
Views:305A magyar társadalomban a cigányság egy jelentős része olyannyira elszegényedett, hogy a hazai underclass szinte teljes egészében etnicizálódott. A periférián kívüli kisebbségi lét és a deprivációs spirál ellehetetleníti a többségi társadalommal való kooperáció lehetőségét, a társadalmi mobilitást. Elméletem szerint az underclassban a szegénykultúra strukturálja a mindennapokat, sok esetben ez jelöli ki az egyén pozícióját a közösségben. Ennek egyik, ha nem a legfontosabb eszköze az erőszak, az agresszió. Felértékelődik a fizikum, a küzdelemben való jártasság az underclassbeli ifjúság körében. Dolgozatomban azt állítom, hogy a szociális munkás a sportot – különösen a küzdősportot – felhasználva megteremthet egy olyan interakciós teret, ahol kialakul a bizalmi légkör, és lehetővé válik az emancipáció érdekében végzett segítő munka. Írásomban bemutatom a főbb sportszociológiai és sportpszichológiai elméleteket annak integrációs, valamint személyiségformáló hatásáról. A brazil Fight for Peace és az Újpesti Cigány Nemzetiségi Önkormányzat Tanoda Programjának metódusa, illetve eredményei alapján megvizsgálom a sportban rejlő lehetőségeket már meglévő kutatási eredményekre, illetve az általam felvett interjúkra támaszkodva.

Szociális csoportmunka módszerének alkalmazása a gyermekek szociális kompetenciáinak fejlesztésében
Views:245The case study provides practical experiences of the socialization group session implemented among primary school children: from the presentation of the key points of the planning process to the analysis of group work. The main goal of writing my paper is drawing attention to the possibility, importance and effectiveness of social group work as a method, as opposed to preferred case work.

Perspectives of problem-based learning in social higher education
Views:86The paper provides insight into the theoretical and methodological features of problem-based learning PBL), as one of challenges and contemporary to advance active learning in higher education. The method was first developed in the realms of medical education, but in recent years it has reached a rather wide range of professional training programs, including social work education. Following a condensed theoretical overview of the method, the author outlines the concept and thematic structure of a short (four-day) introductory workshop for teachers and curriculum developers working in higher education of social workers and allied professionals, who would have the chance to discuss the possibility of introducing the method in their teaching practice as a starting point towards the integration and development of a more practice-oriented training of social professionals.

Mondd, hogy vagy így? (Like a Rolling Stone)
Views:226The study seeks to understand what benefits homeless people – based on their own explanations, perceptions – attribute to the place they chose to spend their nights, and often their days as well. What factors influence their choice in where they spend the night, where they sleep. We answer these questions through analysing almost 6200 responses to the annual national February 3rd survey.
Our research reveals that for homeless people – just like for others – the factors influencing the choice of accommodation range wider than its primary, physical conditions, like a roof, heating, possibilities for sleep and shower, or fulfilling other basic needs like accessing food. Other characteristics defining a home (such as security, autonomy and freedom provided by privacy) are equally important.
Professionals working with homeless people can build on understanding the differences between the motivation, preferences of values between homeless people sleeping in various services or on the streets when weighing the advantages of a certain type of accommodation or when deciding whether to “go sleep in a shelter” or “stay outside”.

A szociális munkások munkahelyi biztonságáról, a kockázatokról és a szakma identitáskríziséről
Views:1207I have been trying to finish this paper for years. I started when, in the summer of 2018, a father of three children who was being evicted for not paying a foreign currency loan killed one of our colleagues, the only person who tried to do something for him in a hopeless situation. Initially, I wanted to write about the safety of social workers at work and the possibilities of risk management. I was invited to a committee of experts to draw up recommendations on this subject. While writing the expert opinion, as a social worker, I tried to assess the risks that threaten our colleagues in their daily work, and also what we can do, or who at all can do and what to control these risks. I also realized how much an intervention is worth that doesn’t affect the most serious risks, it just makes recommendations to colleagues on what to do if, for example, a father deprived of his child shows up in the office swinging an ax. In addition, interventions come at a price. What can social assistance work be like without intimate counselling rooms, but with police protection, panic buttons, paprika spray, official person! badge, and so on. I also participated in the group of experts whose first report on a serious malpractice case also appears in this issue. And then came the coronavirus epidemic. And now I have completed the study, which is actually about the crisis of our profession and what can to be done to manage it.

A szociális szakma és a társadalmi környezet − gondolatok egy vita kapcsán
Views:276Írásom célkitűzése az Esély című folyóirat 2014/3. számában a szociális szakma és a társadalmi környezet témában megjelent írásokra való reflektálás, aktuális vajdasági események és a szakmában eltöltött több mint két évtizedes tapasztalatok alapján. Bár Szerbia és Magyarország szociális védelmi rendszere különböző, a szakma képviselői ugyanazon problémákkal és nehézségekkel találják magukat szemben mindkét országban. A cikk központi témája a morális válság jelenléte a szakmában, a szociális munkások énképe, valamint a szociális munka színvonala és presztízse. Hogy valóban van-e válság a szociális munkában vagy sem, az vitatható. Az azonban biztos, hogy probléma van a szociális munka kialakult gyakorlatával. Véleményem szerint paradigmaváltás van folyamatban a szociális munkában, az ügyfélközpontúságról lassan áttérünk az adminisztrációközpontúságra. Egyre kevesebb időt szentelünk az ügyfélnek, egyre kevesebb az esetmegbeszélés és a segítő beszélgetés, a konzultáció, egyre kevesebb idő jut a szakma valódi értékeinek megvalósítására. Munkámban ennek okaira keresem a választ. -
A szakmai identitás, mint a szociálismunkás-képzés egyik kulcskérdése
Views:1021Social worker identity development is a key to helpers’ effectiveness. Institutions of higher education have their own systems to assess knowledge and skills. Measuring attitudes, and emerging autonomy and responsibility remains a challenge, though the developmental level of these latter components are fundamental to the motivations and reflectivity of the practitioner. Identity Structure Analysis is a method to explore the main elements of professional identity, identity formation and dynamics. Our sample included 57 social work practitioners. Our results indicate that a degree in social work, research and critical thinking were considered of secondary importance as compared to continuous professional development opportunities. Self-awareness trainings and clinical supervision were identified as key training resources. Based on our results, curriculum development should include considerations on professional identity development. Continuing professional education, trainings, mentoring, and clinical supervision are essential resources for social worker practitioners during their career.

The usefulness of the sources of formal and informal support in the context of the needs of families with children with disabilities
Views:194Background: A child’s disability changes the family and has an impact on the quality of life of all its members. Consequently, the family’s needs change as well, especially when it comes to their need for support.
Goal: The goal of this study was to map how families with children with disabilities perceive the usefulness of the sources of formal and informal support in the context of family needs, as very important feedback for social work and social policy as major actors in formal support.
Methods: The study was conducted using a quantitative research strategy. The relevant data was acquired using two standardized questionnaires – The Family Support Scale (FSS) by authors Dunst, Jenkins and Trivette (1984) and The Family Needs Survey by authors Bailey and Simeonsson (1988). The sample of respondents was comprised of 493 parents of children with disabilities, out of which there was a much larger number of women – mothers (N= 427) than men – fathers (N= 66).
Results: The results of the study suggest that for families with children with disabilities, the most dominant need is the support from their relatives, while they also feel an increased need for finances. In terms of the perception of the usefulness of sources, informal support was more dominant, and the support of a husband / wife / partner and close relatives was determined the most useful. The study proved the existence of various statistically significant links, such as the link between informal support in the form of parent groups, financial needs, and the need for support from the community.
Conclusion: The study proved an important fact – that whichever kind of formal, but mainly informal support has a direct influence on the extent of the satisfaction of needs. The presence and usefulness of sources of support positively impacts the satisfaction of family needs.
