自在—自为—自觉:“转型”社会工作者专业化发展历程研究

From Being Oneself to Self-Sufficiency to Self-Awareness:A Study on the Professional Development Process of“Transitioned”Social Workers

在院校有效供给社会工作专业人才不足的情况下,非社会工作专业出身的从业者转变成专业社会工作者对社会工作人才队伍的建设具有重要的意义。目前,“转型”社会工作者在客观上已成为我国社会工作从业人员的主力军。文章深入剖析了“转型”社会工作者专业化的发展历程及其特征,研究发现“转型”社会工作者的专业化发展经历了三个阶段,分别是:专业化初期的“自在”实践阶段、中期的“自为”实践阶段和后期的“自觉”实践阶段。在此过程中,政府支持是专业化提升的保障,社会工作机构重视是专业化提升的直接推力,高校教师是专业化提升的推动者,社会工作者个人努力是专业化提升的基础,服务对象的改善是专业化提升的方向。

In the context of a shortage of social work professionals effectively supplied by educational institutions,the transition of practitioners from non-social work backgrounds to professional social workers holds significant importance for the development of the social work workforce.At present,“transitioned”social workers have objectively become the main force of social worker practitioners in our country.The article deeply analyzes the developmental process and characteristics of the professionalization of“transitioned”social workers,revealing three stages:the initial stage of professionalization characterized by“being oneself,”the mid-term stage of professionalization characterized by“self-sufficiency,”and the later stage of professionalization characterized by“self-awareness.”In this process,the government support serves as a guarantee for professionalization enhancement,institutional recognition drives professionalization directly,university educators act as promoters of professionalization,individual efforts of social workers form the foundation for professionalization,and improvements in service recipients’conditions guide the direction of professionalization enhancement.
