This volume focuses on issues around aligning theory, research and practice in social work education. A significant contribution is made here to the scholarly understanding of opportunities to sustain the academic discourse on social work education. Social work as a profession and a social science discipline is dynamic, and it ought to meet the challenges of the realities of the societies in which it serves, given the history of the changing society of South Africa from apartheid to democracy. Over the years, social work education and training has undergone tremendous curricular changes with the enactment of the White Paper for Social Welfare and the national review, respectively, by the South African Council for Social Services Professions (SACSSP) and the Council on Higher Education (CHE) for the re-accreditation of all Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) programmes in South Africa fulfilling the prescripts of the Higher Education Act (No. 101 of 1997, as amended) and Social Service Professions Act (No. 110 of 1978). It is worth mentioning that the curricular changes will also continue with the current reviewing of Social Service Professions Act (No. 110 of 1978), as amended, which is underway in South Africa. This book is really ground-breaking! The Afrocentric perspective on social work practice contributes to the current discourse on decolonisation of social work teaching and practice. From a methodological perspective, the book is premised on multi-, inter- and trans-disciplining in social sciences. It covers aspects of social work education and practice through research (narrative, qualitative, African methodology, secondary data analysis, etc.), engendering values and ethics, report writing, supervision in fieldwork as well as exchange programmes and international service-learning, addressing a number of concepts such as cultural competency, cultural awareness and sensitivity are addressed. 606 $aSocial services & welfare, criminology$2bicssc 610 $aChild sexual abuse 610 $acultural competence 610 $amigrant children 610 $aqualitative research 610 $aservice learning 610 $asocial work education 610 $asocial work practice 615 7$aSocial services & welfare, criminology 700 $aShokane$b Allucia Lulu$4edt$01311645 702 $aMakhubele$b Jabulani$4edt 702 $aBlitz $b Lisa V$4edt 702 $aShokane$b Allucia Lulu$4oth 702 $aMakhubele$b Jabulani$4oth 702 $aBlitz $b Lisa V$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910563073003321 996 $aIssues Around Aligning Theory, Research and Practice in Social Work Education$93030465 997 $aUNINA
