Using Personal Quality Assessment for Selection of Social Work Students
The social work profession has long struggled to find fair and effective ways of selecting students into their education programs. A psychometric test battery, gathered together under the title “Personal Qualities Assessment” (PQA) has been developed at the University of Newcastle to identify a range of qualities in aspiring health professionals.

There are no Answers, Only Choices
In teaching students about ethical decision making in social work, it is essential that the students are able to recognise the moral implications of their work and develop a deep understanding about ethical issues and their personal responsibility for making ethical choices. Thus, more than a “how to do it” approach is needed and teaching students about values and ethics is an essential thread that runs through our experience-based social work ed…

It examines the teaching of policy practice using a strengths perspective where it is seen as a bottom-u…

As well as outlining the theoretical underpinnings and core features of the model, the paper reports on a survey of graduates which examined their perce…

Effective practice
Many social workers may believe that their profession has been behind the eight ball in practice research. They may see that the thrust for measuring effectiveness and the learning of research skills that has occurred over the last decade is a new direction for the profession. An examination of social work history in Britain and the USA indicates that an interest in assessing the effectiveness of social work interventions, an ‘empirical’ approach…
