Development of social workers
Social work will further develop in the direction of combining theory with practice, especially in the research and implementation of social work. There are different schools of social work in western countries, with demand and practicality as the value orientation in theoretical point of view, and a relatively complete knowledge system in management methods and technology.
Social work in some developed countries has accumulated some experience in solving problems in industrial society, carrying out social control, alleviating social contradictions and achieving relative social stability, and formed different theories on this basis. Other countries show the combination of theory and practice in implementing different aspects of social work.
Through the continuous exploration and practice of social work scholars and professionals, the form and content of the combination of theory and practice of social work discipline will be increasingly diversified. At the same time, international academic exchanges and cooperation will be further strengthened, academics will be further internationalized, the efficiency of discipline implementation will be increasingly enhanced, and the theoretical methods of disciplines will be increasingly improved.
