Keywords:
Social work, ability, competence, skill, study program, practicum, EQR,Abstract
In the study programs of bachelor of social work there are
different concepts to define abilities and skills as desirable
outcomes of the successfully mastered curriculum. In Germany
the curricula are based on a generalized “German
Qualifications Framework of Social Workâ€. Two studies are
presented to find out, (1) how alumni evaluate the relevance of
different aspects of competencies, (2) how these evaluations
chances during the first two years after leaving university and
(3) how the higher education in social work affects the ability of
the alumni to evaluate critical situations in relation to
appropriate skills.
