This study examined the relationship between school social workers’ perceived effectiveness and their perceived levels of competency (knowledge and skills), collaboration, and school culture when providing services to homeless students. A quantitative descriptive research design was employed in this study. Specifically, this study provided insight on how these select factors influence school social workers’ perceived effectiveness in providing services to homeless students. The study sample consisted of 103 school social workers and homeless liaisons who serve the metropolitan Atlanta. Respondents participated in the study by completing the “School Social Workers’ Perceived Effectiveness Survey” that was disseminated via email or in person. All respondents participated in the study voluntarily. Data analysis was conducted at three levels. The first level presented descriptive findings associated with demographic information and school social work experience of the respondents. The second level utilized crosstabs to examine the relationship between the dependent variable, perceived effectiveness, and each of the independent variables (competency, collaboration, and school culture). The third level of analysis was analytical procedures which tested the hypothesis under this study. This section used Spearman’s Correlation Coefficient to determine the strength of the relationship between the dependent variable and each of the independent variables. This study found a positive, strong correlation between school social worker perceived effectiveness and skill-set, competency, collaboration, and school culture. There was a positive moderate correlation between school social worker perceived effectiveness and knowledge. The conclusions drawn from the findings of this research suggested that all of the independent variables showed a significant correlation with the dependent variable.

Hundassisterad pedagogik (HAP) är en metod där hund används som verktyg i skolverksamhet och användandet av hundar i skolmiljö ses som ett pedagogiskt och hälsofrämjande verktyg. Syftet med studien är att uppmärksamma vad och hur de yrkesverksamma inom HAP anser att metoden kan gynna eleverna. Studien belyser också vilka svårigheter, hinder och möjligheter det finns med metoden. Resultatet grundar sig i en kvalitativ intervjustudie där författarna av studien har intervjuat sju yrkesverksamma inom HAP. Det framkommer i studien att de yrkesverksamma kan se flera olika positiva och gynnsamma aspekter med metoden hos eleverna, bland annat pedagogisk utveckling och förbättrat psykiskt mående. Huvudresultaten är att HAP som metod framför allt gynnar barn med diagnoser och läs-och skrivsvårigheter och att HAP kan bidra till att hemmasittare återgår till skolan.

This study is an analysis of a policy, The Indian Self-Determination Act (Public Law 93-638), and consists of a survey designed to examine the perceptions of selected Indian tribal leaders regarding the policy. The findings of the survey are reviewed and analyzed and the study is concluded with a consideration of the implications of the findings for social work. In general, the study is concerned with an aspect of the social policy process. A specific policy is addressed and a survey of perceptions of people effected by that policy was taken. The policy itself is an indication of a seemingly new attitude of the federal government toward Indian people. If this is so, this change is a significant departure from traditional attitudes and will affect the social service system as it relates to Indians as well as most other aspects of Indian life. Indian Self-Determination is a new term for Indian people.
