Guidance has become one of the most popular words in the vocabulary of education during the last few years. Its rapid development has been partly due to a new psychology that has emphasized individual differences. These individual differences have been found to include economic, physical, mental and emotional factors in varying proportions. / Typescript. / "August, 1949." / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts under Plan II." / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 60-62).

at the
UNIVERSITY OF ZULULAND, 2008. / Social workers are expected to bring about changes in the lives of individuals groups and communities. The post 1994 era brought many changes in the South African welfare policy. Among the changes envisaged was the need for the adoption and implementation of the developmental approach in terms of the White Paper for Social Welfare (1997), which strives to promote basic human rights, dignity and self reliance. The developmental approach to Social Welfare:
• recognizes the need for integrated and strength-based approaches to service
delivery;
• ensures and promotes sustainability of intervention efforts;
• emphasizes appropriate services to all, particularly the poor, the vulnerable and
those with special needs; and
• recognizes that social work amongst other social service professions plays a major
role in addressing developmental needs of society.
This research intends to:
• determine the application of a developmental model in working with foster
families;
• address any challenges experienced by service providers and seek to get their
opinions of what could be regarded as the best practice model in handling foster
families.

February, 2016 / Supervision in the social work profession is fundamental to training, as it helps social workers to develop theirprofessional capabilities and improves their skills and knowledge of rendering quality services to clients. Lack of supervision for newly qualified social workers may compromise the quality of services received by clients.Effective supervision is associated with good quality service to clients, increased professional development and greaterjob satisfaction for social workers. A qualitative study was conducted with a sample of 20 newly qualified social workers employed at the Department of Social Development in Waterberg District of the Limpopo Province where individual supervision is the most commonly used method of supervision. The aim of the study was to explore the perceptions and experiences of newly qualified social workers regarding supervision at their workplaces. The data was collected through semi-structured interviews, using semi-structured interview schedule, and analysed using thematic content analysis. The non-probability and purposive sampling was applied. The main findings were that the newly qualified social workers recognisedmany of the strengths of the Department of Social Development Supervision Framework which included: ethics, a supervision contract, professional development and compliance with the Framework. The data analysed also revealed that supervision within the DSD is not conducted in compliance with the Supervision Framework and various factors affecting the quality of supervision in the Department were highlighted. This report concludes with a brief discussion of the findings and recommendations.

Factors undermining social workers' attempts at furthering their studies in Driekop, Limpopo Province, South AfricaMmadi, Pontsho James. January 2018 (has links)
Thesis (M.A. (Social Work)) --University of Limpopo, 2018 / This paper examines factors militating against social workers’ endeavours to undertake postgraduate studies. The model of Maintaining Professional Competence was considered to guide the study with a sample of ten (10) participants who were all interviewed face-to-face in Driekop (Sekhukhune District), Limpopo Province (RSA). An interview guide was utilised in the foregoing. Content Thematic Analysis was used to make sense of the findings. The findings indicate that social workers’ aspirations to improve their qualifications are hampered by the following impediments: heavy workloads and family commitments; financial constraints due to meagre remuneration; lack of motivation and poor prestige of the profession fueled by little or no consideration of postgraduate qualifications by employers; and poor reading habits and lack of information on postgraduate sponsors. Despite the aforementioned barriers, social workers acknowledged the value of postgraduate education in their lives. Given these findings, the researcher recommends that:
• Postgraduate qualifications in social work need to be incentivised.
• Social work salaries need to be improved/commensurate with qualifications, and competitive incentives provided as well.
• Social workers’ heavy workloads need to be reviewed.
• Social workers need to make efforts to inculcate reading habits amongst themselves.
• Social workers must strive to balance work and family commitments to make time for
further studies.
• Social workers as well as their employers should seek or source scholarships for
post-graduate studies.
