USING THE CASE-STUDY METHOD OF TRAINING IN THE SYSTEM OF INCREASING THE QUALIFICATION OF WORKERS OF SOCIAL SPHERE

Abstract

The article discusses features of advanced training for social workers. The author concludes that the use of the case-study method is the most focused on practical work. This allows students to develop professional skills and abilities in the short term courses. The paper presents the requirements that teachers should consider when developing case studies for social workers. Recommendations are given on the organization of the teacher’s work with students in solving case assignments. An algorithm for solving case assignments for course students has been developed. Particular attention is paid to the competencies that are formed in students using the case method. The specifics of the professional activities of social workers also condition the problem of case-tasks, which should reflect the most pressing social problems arising when interacting with clients of social work, with colleagues, other institutions and social professionals.
