The concept of professional identity in selected approaches to the education of social workers
Original language description
The content of education is one of the most passionately discussed topics in the field of social work. The importance of this topic is based on the fact that the content of education has a direct connection with the identity of social work, which includes goals, methods and the overall direction of social work. This article aims to understand "What types of professional identity are developed by schools educating social workers in the Czech Republic?" The study is based on the secondary analysis of data collected in 2010. In this phase of research, we aimed to identify the educational approaches to social work. For that purpose, we have utilised eight distinctive dimensions that make it possible to distinguish among various approaches to education (Ford & Jones 1987; Doel, Shawdon, Morrison 2002; Evans, 1999; Shardlow Doel 1996, 2017; Sheafor, Jenkins, 1982). We have later realised that the educational approaches might implicitly include ideas about the preferred discourses and identities of social work. In this study, we on the base of previously identified educational approaches that are being applied in the Czech context, characterize the discourses behind and then determine what types of specialized identity are be being profiled by individual educational approaches and discourses. We believe that this analysis could help us understand more the trends in the professionalization of social work in the Czech Republic, but can shed lights on the professionalization tendencies at least in the middle Europe.
