Supply and Demand. Evaluation training for Social Work and Social Care in a Swedish Context
Författare
Summary, in English
A national study in Sweden, conducted in 2002, reveals that only a minority of social work and social care students are exposed to the concept and practice of evaluation throughout their education, and this in a most rudimentary way. R&D-units offer practitioners more training in evaluation and related knowledge development activities. However, this work is not conducted in a focused manner nor is every Swedish municipality necessarily targeted.
If evaluation education and training opportunities are viewed in light of a supply-and-demand situation, we may find an explanation to the current curriculum for evaluation in the social work educational system and the corresponding evaluation practice levels in social service organizations.
