摘要

目前南非社会工作者的数量少得令人担忧。虽然追求社会工作作为职业的动机已经被记录下来，但随着时间的推移，事情发生了变化，不可能知道或假设是什么激励了当前的学生群体。因此，持续的研究是至关重要的。在林波波大学进行了一项定性的文献分析研究，对141名未来的学生进行了开放式问题形式的选择测试问卷。专题分析的结果表明，从事社会工作的愿望受到家庭、学校教师、实地社会工作者和自我治愈愿望的影响。关键词:职业道路，未来的社会工作学生，社会工作专业，林波波大学

REASONS FOR CHOOSING SOCIAL WORK AS PROFESSION: A CASE STUDY OF PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF LIMPOPO

The current number of social workers in South Africa is worryingly low. Whereas the motives for pursuing social work as a career have been documented, over the course of time things change and it is not possible to know or assume what motivated the current cohort of students. Thus, ongoing research is vital. A document analysis research that was qualitative in nature was undertaken at the University of Limpopo, where a selection test questionnaire in the form of open-ended questions was administered to 141 prospective students. The findings of a thematic analysis indicate that aspirations to pursue social work are influenced by family, school teachers, social workers in the field and a desire for self-healing. Keywords: career paths, prospective social work students, social work profession, University of Limpopo
