‘It's About People and Their Environment’: Student Social Workers' Definitions of Social Work Research

This article considers constructions of social work research from the perspectives of student social workers in New Zealand. There have been many academic discussions of the unique epistemology that can be called social work research but little is known of students and/or practitioner views. Are they interested in social work research? Do they even care about debates on epistemology? Forty-three student social workers considered two questions while attending a social work research methods course: ‘What is social work research?’ and ‘What kind of social work researcher might I be?’. A subset of 18 distance students explored a third question: ‘Should social work research be part of everyday practice or not?’. To answer these questions students provided comments in a short survey, material from their written student assignments and comments from online discussion board activities. The results suggest that student social workers have a preference for social work research that is compatible with their clearly articulated social work value base, and that social work research primarily should benefit the client group with which a social worker is closely linked. Student social workers also recognise the importance of research for their everyday practice, yet at the same time feel there are organisational constraints to this happening.     

Dressing the Part? The Significance of Dress in Social Work

This paper explores practice educators' views about the significance of dress for social work in the context of UK social work education. The findings, drawn from three focus group discussions, suggest that practice educators regard dress as an important way in which social workers demonstrate values in action. Dress is also seen to play a part in the development and maintenance of a professional social work identity, and is relevant to the physical and bodily experiences of ‘doing’ social work. Social workers should be aware of the significance of dress and self-presentation, and where student social workers fail to demonstrate such awareness, practice educators may have questions about their understanding of the complexity of practice. The paper notes that while participants expressed similar views about the meaning and impact of dress, these are based on the observation and experience of practice, and there is little research evidence specifically concerning dress in social work. The study contributes to an understanding of why practice educators consider that dress may be relevant in the assessment of a student's practice readiness, and suggests areas for further research about this everyday yet significant aspect of a social worker's working life.     

Mind the Gap! Students' Understanding and Application of Social Work Values

This paper discusses a research project that explored the development of student social workers' values during the first year of professional education at one Scottish university. Questionnaires, based on a vignette, and focus groups established baseline information at the outset of the study. These methods were reapplied a year later to identify the extent to which students' values framework had developed, and the factors that had supported this. The study revealed that, by the end of that year, students could both identify and apply values to support them in their work with individuals to a greater extent than they could those to help them challenge structural discrimination. The study also highlighted the need for university-based teaching, and practice learning experiences, to provide more opportunities for reflection and discussion to support the development of values in student social workers.     

四库集部分类与经学价值观

汉代五经博士的设立具有明确的"明天道、正人伦、致至治"政治功能,这决定了五经作为学术,亦具有某种先决特质。经学之率先形成也对四部分类法产生重要影响。从文献学角度分析经学价值观在集部分类的影响,其表现是不同的,如集部分类法的二元性、对楚辞单立一类原因的分析、四库馆臣对宋元词曲的轻蔑充满着政治功利主义思想等等,这些都或隐或显地呈现出经学价值观的影响。     

大学生音乐审美价值取向研究——以流行音乐的审美为例

社交网络对大学生人格和价值观的影响

以建立和维系社会关系为目标的社交网络,特别受到当代大学生的青睐,从国外的Twitter、Facebook、MSN,到国内的实名认证的人人网、拥有庞大用户的腾讯QQ、热火兴起的微博,都是大学生们常常用到的社交网站。人们运用社交网络来维系社会实体关系、展现自我个性、表达利益诉求,随着社交网络在大学生生活中扮演的重要性的逐日提高,对当代大学生的人格和价值观也产生的一些影响,值得我们分析、重视。     

中国共产党发展生产力的价值取向

同是发展生产力,不同的阶级虽有不同的方式,不同的历史过程,但根本的区别是发展生产力的价值取向不同.中国共产党发展生产力是以人民的利益、国家的富强和中华民族的伟大复兴为其价值取向的.民主革命时期,在扫除束缚生产力发展的旧制度的同时,中国共产党提出了新民主主义建设的思想.新中国成立后,在全国范围的新民主主义建设中,生产力迅速发展,人民生活显著提高.社会主义建设伊始,毛泽东提出中国工业化的道路,强调不能剥夺农民来积累工业化需要的资金,要随着生产的发展不断增加人民的收入.在邓小平理论中有一个处于核心地位的问题,就是发展生产力及其价值取向问题."三个代表"的重要思想,同样体现着中国共产党发展生产力是与广大人民的根本利益的价值取向及中国先进文化的前进方向密切联系在一起的.
