  A szlovák parlament július 9-én hagyta jóvá a szociális munka törvényét, amelyet néhány nappal később a Szlovák Köztársaság elnöke is aláírt. A jelen cikk célja bemutatni ezt a fontos törvényt, megemlíteni főbb területeit, felvázolni szükségességének hátterét, készítésének folyamatát. Szeretném hangsúlyozni, mennyire fontos ez a törvény a fejlődés, a szociális munkások státuszának és a szociális munka társadalmi megítélésének megváltoztatása szempontjából. Szlovákiában a szociális munka jelenlegi státusza egészen sajátos:

  • Nagyszámú, megfelelő végzettség nélküli „szociális munkás”
  • A szociális munka egyetemi oktatását 22 évvel ezelőtt indították újra, az első szociális munkások 18 évvel ezelőtt diplomáztak
  • Nagyszámú végzős szociális munkás (2012-ben 7500)  
  • A gyakorlatban dolgozó szociális munkások alacsony száma

  Ezen tények alapján a szociális munka törvénye meghatározza, kit nevezünk szociális munkásnak, szociális asszisztensnek és egyéb szakértőnek a szociális munka területén.

  A törvény egy másik fontos része a Szociális Munkások Kamarájának létrehozása. Ez egy szakmai egyesület, amely a szakma szociális munkások általi irányítását hivatott ellátni. Fő feladatai a következők:

  • Tagfelvétel és a szakemberek regisztrálása
  • Tanúsítványok specializációkról
  • Etikai és fegyelmi kérdések
  • Ingyenes tanácsadás
  • Jogvédelem

  A törvény harmadik része a posztgraduális képzés új rendszerét és a specializációt mint a szociális munka fejlesztésének szükséges részét mutatja be. A szociális munka törvény meghatározza mind a specializációkat oktató intézményeinek, mind pedig a jelentkezők akkreditációjának feltételeit. A szociális munka törvény ezen része hangsúlyozza a folyamatos továbbképzés és a szociális munka fejlesztése fenntarthatóságának fontosságát.

  The Faculty of Health Sciences and Social Studies at the University of Szeged launched the dual form of social work education in 2018. Several critiques emerged during the introduction of this training model; thus, the aim of this study is to comprehensively evaluate its impacts, advantages, and challenges based on experiences gathered since its inception. The analysis adopts three primary perspectives: that of the educational institution itself, the field institutions acting as dual partners, and the students enrolled in the program. Experiences were explored through structured interviews and focus group discussions. The findings and recommendations outlined in this study may contribute to the further development and enhanced effectiveness of dual education.

  The current health crisis we are experiencing because of Covid-19 pandemic has put social worker schools in a new, unexpected position. How can a practice-based training program be organized during a ‘lockdown’ period? How practical skills can be acquired if contact with field teachers, social services and target groups is limited? Assuming that the world will not be the same after the pandemic and that higher education institutions and systems will not be the same after the crisis, we believe that it is time to rethink the forms of work in the training of social workers and to develop practical techniques that suit better the digital generation of 21st century. In order to learn about innovations and good practices arising from the situation, we organized a focus group interview with 15 field teachers. In the course of our research, we sought to answer the questions: What new forms of practical training have been developed? What are the benefits of the online education? What would the field teachers keep from the currently experimented forms of work in the post-crisis period? The first results of our research prove that, contrary to expectations, the world has not narrowed but expanded as a result of the restrictions. With the intensive use of digital tools and forms of work, remote locations and target groups have become available, special knowledge elements have become involved in training, and new opportunities for the development of personal skills have opened in the social worker training. The crisis situation had a particularly positive effect on the emergence of training innovations.

  The Jewish Theological Seminary, founded in 1877, aimed to combine modern scholarship with Jewish religious traditions. However, the golden age of the Institution and its world fame followed the cruel destruction of the Holocaust. Then, for forty years, the communist dictatorship made life difficult in the Jewish community. Despite the persecutions, the Jewish Holocaust survivors, along with the second and third generations, quickly revived the traditions from the 1990s and the Jewish community became an active, organized community again. One sign of this is that the Rabbinical Seminary has become a university, the Jewish Theological Seminary – University of Jewish Studies. Part of this process is that training for social workers began in 1995. The study is a historical outline of the institution that has been operating continuously in Budapest for 150 years. How and why was it created? How do they find their place and what answers do they give to social problems today? It reviews the professional values ​​and principles of social worker training and tries to reflect the special Jewish features of the University.

  Rethinking the relation of theory and practice is in the focus nowadays regarding social studies. Define the ideal rate of practice in study programs is not easy, just as to determine those competencies and knowledge that able to reply to the differing needs of the labor market. The need-to-know basis which defines directly the tools of a practicing social worker is changing steadily by the societal- and economic transformation. Accordingly to this phenomenon, raise awareness relating to the learning process, innovative tools for both informal and formal (extra-)curricular trainings have become important features of education. In this learning environment, students are able to focus on better knowledge, understanding, and traceability of their individual growth.  Moreover, innovative methods create an opportunity to develop values, attitudes, and professionalism. Organizing and implementing research-camps, where students can deepen their knowledge of social research methods, is perfectly fits this approach. We have to see that learning is not an activity we can define precisely, rather something complex, strongly determined by the situation, as different people learn differently, indeed, the same person has different ways to get the knowledge in different situations. This is particularly true for research-camps where the specific learning environment has catalyzing role in transforming procedural knowledge. One advantage of procedural knowledge is that it can involve more senses, such as hands-on experience, practice at solving problems, understanding of the limitations of a specific solution, etc. Camping is an outstanding and effective stage in social learning as well. Experience as usable knowledge in subsequent situations may remain by reflecting on solving problems and experiences. (Gruber & Garabás, 2018) In the practice of the Department of Community and Social Studies (University of Pécs) students participate in research planning and implementing from the setting of targets through data collection and processing till publishing results. Studied phenomenons, processes, and correlations are often the proofs of the complexity of society for those with significantly different socio-economic backgrounds. The community-shaping effect is another crucial aspect in the integration of research-camps into our curriculum. The decreasing number of full-time students and the fact that most of them are employees (self-supporters) affect the quantity and the quality of community activities. Research-camps, besides deepening and exploiting knowledge, create opportunities for collaboration and savoring mutual experiences.

  Simulation techniques can also be used in the education of social work students, in the further training of professionals, and as a practical tool for social work. According to international experience, by participating in social work simulations, students can gain more practice, develop skills, receive feedback, and become confident and competent before they start providing services to clients (SUNARICH & ROWAN, 2017). Types of simulation are simple simulations, standardized clients, large-scale, multi-participant situations such as poverty or reintegration simulations, computer programs and simulations using virtual reality, but we can also include simulation board games or interactive theater performances. In the study, we present several examples and good practices and examine the possible benefits of using simulations.

  Care policy emerged as a new concept in 2021 within the domestic social welfare system and the world of social sciences that underpin it. In recent years, it has been institutionalized in several stages, continuously in new areas. In the study, we attempt to define and analyze the content of care policy based on two foundational textbooks published at the end of 2024 and related publications, highlighting the essential content elements and the differences from the system of social work and social policy. Care policy is characterized by a contradictory, ambivalent relationship with the concepts of social policy and social work; it simultaneously seeks to consider itself as an organic, qualitatively progressive continuation of them, while at several points it firmly denies their fundamental principles and values. The monitoring and interpretation of the development of care policy is of paramount importance for the social policy and social work in Hungary.

  How do social workers see their work, their calling? What changes did they go through, and how did they value these? To have an answer, I interviewed 13 social workers of a city in 2006 and in 2016 and 2017.

  The interviewees have already changed their workplace and gone through other changes in their life, which they experienced differently. Most of them showed alternations in their attitude toward their work, one-third presented prolonged changes in their internal thinking and personality. They sense and follow changes in their profession, and in the society. Almost all of them think that they have the opportunity to find a new job either up to their circumstances or their personal qualities.

  The outcome of this research can contribute to the general opinion about social workers’ career path, about which information is usually gathered during their studies.

• "A szociális munkához képzettség kell" - interjú Ferge Zsuzsával

  Egy 2010-ben készült interjút ismét megjelentetünk. Akkoriban, a HÁLÓ folyóirat szerkesztőjeként Ferge Zsuzsát kérdeztem, és a szociális munkás képzés húsz éves jubileuma volt a beszélgetés elindítója. A Ferge Zsuzsával készült interjú adalék a szakma történethez, de nem csupán múltidézés, hanem tele van kritikai és megbeszélni való gondolattal. Az elmúlt közel egy évtizedben nemhogy fogyatkoztak volna az párbeszédre váró témák, inkább gyarapodtak és többnyire megbeszélés nélkül maradtak. Ideje lenne ezen változtatni! A Ferge Zsuzsával készült interjút abban a reményben adom újra át az olvasóknak, hogy lesznek, akiknek élvezetes olvasmány lesz, és lesznek az olvasók között, akiket írásra, megbeszélésre inspirál.
