| The social worker draws on knowledge related to
social conditions and problems, social policies and programs, social phenomena, the social
work profession, and various practice theories in order to facilitate the process of
change. These knowledge, to some extent, have been covered in various course of the
course. Students are expected to upkeep themselves with these knowledge in the fieldwork
placements and throughout their professional lives as social workers in the future. The
social worker is expected to be a competent professional which means much more than
possessing knowledge of practice theory. Competent practitioners must be able to transform
that knowledge into action. |
