| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立暨南國際大學 === 社會政策與社會工作學系 === 95 === The trend of globalization has affected many fields, including society, politics, economics, and culture. Similarly, education of social work has also been influenced. When globalization is an inevitable trend, it is especially important to find ways to cope with it.
Social work education is primarily comprised of value education, knowledge education, and technical education. This study is concerned with how social work itself and these three components will face and cope with which challenges under globalization, and to provide services to minorities with even more diverse issues.
This study uses literature methods and the in-depth interviews of qualitative research. Five assistant professors (or above) in social work and related fields were interviewed. The following eight conclusions are reached:
