Role of doctoral study in development of social work practice and competence: Croatian experience
Aim of the presentation is to discuss the role of doctoral programme in social work in recognising and promoting competences for reflexive research and reflexive practice in social work. The following questions will be discussed: (1) what are educational outcomes of doctoral programme and how are they embedded in expected professional competencies? (2) What is the role and responsibility of social work doctoral study in promoting social work as a profession? (3) What are the ambiguities between devalued status of social work and the increased academisation of social work? (4) What are recommendations for future development of doctoral studies in social work? This issue will be approached from theoretical and empirical perspective, as well as from the perspective of authors’ experience of teaching in doctoral programme in social work and social policy. The discussion will be supported by content analyses of final doctoral theses defended at the Department of Social Work, Faculty of Law, University of Zagreb from 2004. to 2010. The results of content analyses showed that doctoral theses are focused on recognition of social work as profession and improvement of social work practice with service users. The challenge is how to make these researches recognised and used by practitioners, users and decision makers. They also should be presented to a broader audience in order to bring more understanding of social work mission and values and promote it as a profession. Our experiences as a teachers is that the doctoral study program in social work is strong facilitator for personal learning and creating a new knowledge for social work at the same time.
