This book serves as an introductory reader for understanding a
professional competencies framework for social work through a new
approach. It not only discusses what professional competencies are
and why they are significant, but it also shows how to develop a
professional competencies approach, measure and research
competencies, and learn how to use them to empower professional
identity and career development. There has been growing interest to
define the social work profession within a professional
competencies framework. Professional competencies are considered in
their complexity as a triangle of knowledge, skills and values.
They are not solely a tool for education and practice, but they are
also important for professional socialization and identity in
social work. A professional competencies approach has been used to
define standards and expectations for social workers-practitioners;
it is an evaluation tool for formal education and lifelong learning
programs, provides guidance for field practice and placements for
social work students, and could be a frame for distinguishing
levels of professional expertise. The volume provides an
up-to-date, comprehensive overview of a professional competencies
approach in social work with 10 chapters organized in four
sections: Part I: Understanding a Professional Competencies
Approach, including Criticisms of the Competency-Based Education
Approach Part II: Major Areas of Professional Competencies,
including Leadership and Professional Socialisation Part III:
Measuring Professional Competencies and Education Outcomes,
including How to Conceptualise, Operationalise and Measure
Professional Competencies in Social Work Part IV: Professional
Competencies and Professional Development, including A Model of
Holistic Competence in Social Work and the unique Professional
Capabilities Framework Social Work in the Frame of a Professional
Competencies Approach is essential reading for social work
instructors, academics and national professional associations
interested in developing or reviewing their professional
competencies framework. It is an invaluable resource for experts in
statutory bodies that set up a legislative framework of social work
practice or work in the accreditation of social work education
programs. The book is useful for social work students interested in
understanding the theoretical background of social work, as well as
for field practitioners who wish to use professional competencies
for their self-reflection, self-evaluation and professional
identity.
