Abstract

ABSTRACT Our manuscript discusses the importance of the Social Work Grand Challenge of Technology. We believe it is the most cross-cutting of the 12 original challenges and reflects the wave of technology that has already changed our daily lives and many practices and clinical fields including social work. Specifically, the goal of this challenge is to positively change the profession by using technology to drive transformations producing more service accessibility, better outcomes, and a change in social work’s relationship to technology, including throughout academia. A discussion of the history and barriers to change, the standards for use of technology, promising technology applications, and an overview of policies and research are covered. Further, recommendations for research exploring field educators’ and social work students’ perspectives, concerns, and behaviors related to technology are suggested to produce strategies for a broad roadmap for positive technology innovation within the social work profession. The path forward runs through the use of technology in both university settings and field settings. The question for the social work profession is we commit to this, and if so, how?
制定社会工作中利用技术的路线图:培养下一代社会工作者
摘要:我们的手稿讨论了社会工作技术大挑战的重要性。我们认为,这是12项原始挑战中最具交叉性的一项,反映了已经改变我们日常生活、许多实践和临床领域(包括社会工作)的技术浪潮。具体而言,这一挑战的目标是积极改变职业,利用技术推动变革,产生更多的服务可及性、更好的结果,并改变社会工作与技术的关系,包括整个学术界。讨论了变革的历史和障碍、技术使用标准、有前景的技术应用以及政策和研究概述。此外,还建议对实地教育工作者和社会工作学生与技术相关的观点、关注点和行为进行研究,以制定社会工作专业积极技术创新的广泛路线图策略。前进的道路贯穿于在大学环境和实地环境中使用技术。社会工作专业的问题是,我们要致力于这一点,如果是,如何做到?
