Abstract
Education of social workers has been building its tradition for over a century. During that period of time, there have been many important changes both in the content and in the ways of educating social workers. Today, the education of social workers is characterized as an academic profession, and the university level is accompanied by undergraduate and postgraduate studies in most European and North American countries. It is first of all a result of understanding the more and more complex social problems the world is facing. It also results from a widely accepted concept of a “social state”. It is also the result of a determination for preventive action as a component part of social work. Such preventive action includes various activities, from creating social policy to the work with an individual and with high risk groups. It also presupposes the study and the recognition of the cause-and-effect links among certain social processes and occurrences of a wider social environment, creating social problems.
