Abstract

This is an exploratory study on the status of the social work field practicum at a cyber university. The purpose is to investigate the current situation and improvement plan of the social work field practicum. A qualitative analysis was conducted with 11 professors who have instructed the social work field practicum at cyber universities. The social work field practicum based on the experiences of the professors is investigated, and this paper analyzes the status according to students, schools, practitioners, and institutions. In order to improve the quality of the social work field practicum, factors for improvement were analyzed through the efforts of students, schools, the Korean social workers' association, institutional improvements, and social welfare instructors. The results of the study are as follows. Students, schools, and training organizations should recognize the importance of the social work field practicum and must strive for systematic and consistent education. It is also important to remember that a social worker is not a professional with simple qualifications, but an expert with a philosophy, values, and ideologies. The direction for improvement in the social work field practicum is as follows. When constructing a social welfare curriculum, the school should have a realistic curriculum and teaching method that can enhance the sense of the field. The student should not be qualified as a social worker only as a vague investment for the future, but should have the professional ability to serve clients as a social worker and to give professional help to clients, considering the best welfare service for human beings. Institutions should provide a place for students to integrate theory and practice in vital social welfare experiences as social workers. The Republic of Korea is now facing an age with one million social workers. In order to open the future of social welfare in Korea, we need united endeavors with government that can develop students as pre-social workers and establish universities, institutions, and their systems for a substantial social work field practicum.

본 연구는 사이버대학교 사회복지현장실습교육의 현황과 개선방향에 대한 탐색적 연구이다. 연구를 위해 사이버대학교에서 사회복지현장실습교육을 지도한 11명의 교수를 대상으로 질적조사를 실시하였다. 본 연구는 사회복지현장실습교육의 현황을 학생, 학교, 실습기관, 제도로 나누어 살펴보았고, 사회복지현장실습교육의 질 제고를 위한 방안으로 학생의 노력, 학교의 노력, 실습기관의 노력, 한국사회복지사협회의 노력, 제도적 정비, 사회복지실습지도교수의 노력 등으로 개선방안을 분석하였다. 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 학생, 학교, 실습기관 등은 사회복지현장실습교육의 중요성을 인식하고 체계적인 교육, 일관성 있는 교육을 위해 노력해야 한다. 또한 사회복지사가 단순한 자격을 가진 직업인이 아니며, 철학과 가치와 이념을 지닌 전문가임을 되새겨야 한다. 사회복지현장실습교육의 개선방향은 다음과 같다. 학교는 사회복지교육과정을 구성할 때, 현장 감각을 높일 수 있는 현실적인 교육과정과 교수법을 갖추어야 한다. 학생은 사회복지사가 미래를 위한 막연한 투자의 일환으로 자격을 취득하는 것이 아니라 인간을 위한 최상의 복지 서비스가 무엇인지를 생각하며 사회복지사로서의 소명을 다하고 클라이언트에게 전문적 도움을 줄 수 있는 전문가적 역량을 갖추어야 할 것이다. 기관은 학생들이 예비사회복지사로서 생생한 사회복지현장을 경험을 하며 이론과 실천을 통합할 수 있는 장을 마련해야 할 것이다. 대한민국은 현재 100만 사회복지사 시대를 눈앞에 두고 있다. 현 시점에서 우리나라 사회복지의 빛나는 미래를 열기 위해 예비사회복지사인 학생, 사회복지인을 양성하는 대학교, 실천현장을 경험할 수 있는 실습기관, 제도를 구축하는 정부가 함께 내실 있는 사회복지현장 실습교육이 될수 있도록 공동의 노력을 기울여야 할 것이다.
