Social Work Education and Practice in the United States and the Czech Republic: Similarities and Differences

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The establishment of social work as a profession and academic discipline in the Czech Republic in the early 20th century was strongly influenced by collaboration with prominent figures in North American social work. Despite the very different political and economic developments in those two countries, the late modern era and deepening global problems have generated several shared challenges for social work as a profession. Social work has been dramatically changing. The importance of professionalization and internationalization is growing. The exploration of the state of the social work profession indicates that certain professional features are common to social work. These are the establishment of professional organizations, the adoption of a professional code of ethics, the development of a specific body of knowledge, and the placement of social work training in institutions of higher education. In studies comparing the success of professionalization of social work in different countries, the path to professional development in social work appears to be most shaped by the features of having external influence on licensing, restriction of title, state sanctions for breaches of code of ethics, control over education, and entrance to the profession (Weiss-Gal and Welbourne 2008). The aim of this chapter is to compare the current state of the social work profession and education in the United States (US) and the Czech Republic, particularly as it relates to professionalization. This based on the results of a thematic analysis of selected legal acts, national strategic and other documents, research reports, and educational standards in both countries. The comparison results in identifying global and contextual issues for education that social workers, academics, and researchers perceive as the challenges for further development of social work education and identify strategies for addressing these challenges and inequalities found in social work education and practice across the globe.
