Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

継続研究の中で、学生が自らにストレングス視点を向けて成功体験を積み上げていく教育方法への関心が高いこと、学生自らのエンパワメント体験が支援対象のエンパワメントの意義の実感につながること、などを理解した。しかし学生のエンパワメント体験とソーシャルワーク実践能力としてのコンピテンスやコンピテンシーとを結びつけて言及した研究は少ない。そこで本研究は、相談援助実習指導・実習教育を通じて学生のストレングスをソーシャルワーク実践能力として変容させる過程展開方法を模索したことに意義があるといえる。
