Competence Framework

There is new paradigm in higher education which could be described as competence based education. In this article, we explore the conditions in which this paradigm can lead to better results of the educational process. We first define the meaning of 'competences' and we then describe how they were developed in the Flemish context. We also explain our competence framework, the real basis for competence based education. Next we focus on the consequences of this approach and finally we describe a way to implement this approach in an educational organization. For this article, we rely on the findings and the insights we developed in a research project realized in co-operation with partners of our university association (Minne, 2008).

The article is devoted to the study of the mechanisms of pedagogic assistance to self-realisation of students of the "Social Work" training direction in the educational space of the university. We considered and substantiated the theory of student-centred education in the conditions of a university. The mechanisms of students' realisation of their existential needs in the process of obtaining higher education are considered. The article defines the conditions conducive to student self-realisation in the educational space of the university. The content of the article substantiates an algorithm for the formation of significant personal qualities of a student in the educational space of the university. Particular attention is paid to the model of pedagogic assistance to self-realisation of students in the educational space of the university. The text provides effective forms of pedagogic assistance to self-realisation of students in the educational space of the university. The article analyses the results of an empirical study of the process of pedagogic assistance to self-realisation of students in the direction of training "Social Work" in the educational space of the university. During the analysis of the literature and the study, it was revealed that in the process of self-realisation there is always something that encourages the student to carry out self-realisation – a motive reflected in the goal of self-realisation, which affects the final result of its studies at the university. The necessity of timely determination of interests, abilities, inclinations, value orientations, students’ capabilities and ways of overcoming barriers that hinder self-realisation is shown. In this case, the teacher acts as a partner, coordinator, consultant, mentor, thereby providing more opportunities for the student's independence and responsibility.

This research project is intended to address the dearth of information regarding best practice in clinical engagement and intervention with nonoffending caregivers of children who have been sexually abused. Utilizing an online survey, licensed clinicians were invited to respond to open-ended questions regarding (a) common challenges they face when working with caregivers of children who have been sexually abused and (b) strategies they have found to be effective when faced with these challenges. Their responses are presented and implications for social work training and practice are reviewed.

Abstract Most adults have experienced traumatic events (SAMHSA, 2017). Late-life traumas may compound upon trauma histories (Maschi, et al., 2013), accentuating the risks confronting older adults. Per CMS’ updated Requirements for Participation, nursing homes (NHs) must implement trauma-informed care (TIC) approaches, effective November 2019. Many NHs do not staff Masters of Social Work (MSWs), despite their expertise in providing mental health care. Notwithstanding, employed MSWs feel unprepared to help their NHs implement TIC. This presentation discusses findings from a national survey of NH social service directors (N = 932). Results showed 71% (n = 650) reported moderate to strong interest in TIC training. A Kruskal-Wallis H test revealed a statistically significant difference in TIC training interest χ2(1) = 43.690, p < .001, such that MSWs reported higher interest (M = 486.47) than non-MSWs (M = 375.23). There was no difference between those with and without a Bachelor of Social Work.

Social work training oriented specifically toward the visually handicapped is not widely available in schools of social work, and it is consequently the responsibility of rehabilitative agencies to provide such training programs. A fieldwork program at an unidentified state center for the visually handicapped is described under the headings of seven “themes” or dimensions of training.

Probation Service

Social work training remained the required pattern for probation officers for the first half of the last fifty years. With the abandonment of that link probation has gradually shifted its focus from ‘advise assist and befriend’ to surveillance and risk assessment. With that shift has come incoherence in management and organisation culminating in the disaster of Transforming Rehabilitation, the flagship reform introducing the private sector and payment by results. The policy on adult offenders is contrasted with the relative success of the Youth justice Board.Despite the absence of relationships from probation service publicity material, social work skills are required to engage with the issues of housing, employment and income security which blight lives of offenders after discharge.
