Abstract
SOCIAL WORK EDUCATORS AND PRACTITIONERS EXPERIENCES AND PERCEPTIONS OF E-SOCIAL WORK TRAINING WITHIN THE SOUTH AFRICAN SOCIAL WORK CONTEXT
THEME 4: Quality management and enhancement of social services
SUB 4.5 Transforming social and healthcare services through capacity building and adoption of information technology
Oral Presentation
The later part of the 20th century the world witnessed the unprecedented emergence of the digital age and its impact on human functioning. Traditionally social work practice has a strong “face-to-face” practice foundation, and the digital era is now presenting a review of this approach to service rendering with the emergence of e-social work. A qualitative study was conducted that explored social work educators and practitioners’ perceptions and experiences of e-social work and its infusion in social work curriculum and further training. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with social work educators and practitioners. The findings indicate that there exists limited understanding and experience with e-social work. Capacity-building is thus crucial in order to engage with client systems both in the offline world and online spaces that people inhabit.
