    Social Work Practice Education During the COVID-19 Pandemic in Europe: A Comparison of Qualitative Analyses of Conditions, Responses, and Innovations from Twelve Countries
    This chapter aims to identify the main impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on social work practice education across 12 countries in Europe. The basis for this reflection is a qualitative study that was carried out among social work scholars with direct relations to social work practice education in their countries. Practice education in social work is regarded as essential for supporting the professional socialization required to turn social work students into social work professionals. As such, forms of practice education largely depend on the institutionalization of the social work profession in particular countries. Various political and societal responses to the COVID-19 pandemic have significantly impacted social work education around Europe, particularly in practice education. Hence, we strived to understand how (i) practice education is embedded in diverse European countries, (ii) how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected practice education, and (iii) what lessons we can learn from the diverse responses in practice education to the COVID-19 pandemic. In collaboration with social work academics from different countries, we co-produced expert background reports from each country. Then, we applied content analysis and the limit type method to further analyze these reports. Limit types enable the description of extreme points on the boundary of a constructed phenomenon. However, our analysis also identified various trends between the extreme points of the identified phenomena. In our findings, we describe an array of country-specific (i) conditions and characteristics of practice education, (ii) effects of COVID-19 responses on practice education, and (iii) inspiring examples for innovation in practice education in social work.

    The Current and Future Challenges of Social Work Practice Education: A Summarizing View Within a Global Approach
    This final chapter regards and focuses on the current global challenges of social work practice education in the light of the new Global Standards of Social Work Education and Training approved by the International Association of Schools of Social Work (IASSW) and the International Federation of Social Workers (IFSW) in 2020. As a starting point, it presents the main outlines of this key reference document for social work education in different parts of the world. The heterogeneities of contexts and practice are so wide that identifying and converging towards a common core of social work education is a real challenge. The IASSW and the IFSW have tackled this complexity in their efforts to align worldwide social work education programs to a common core through the Global Standards of Social Work Education and Training. In this chapter, the standards are first extensively presented, especially regarding social work practice education, and then used to identify the most relevant trends of social work practice education and the challenges it needs to address. Within the framework of the Global Standards of Social Work, the chapter then collects and assembles the main results, findings and experiences from the SWooPEd research project and the previous chapters of this book. As a final chapter, it provides a brief overview of the main findings and the key learning points for current and future social work practice education. Accordingly, this chapter will create a concluding summary of the design of social work practice education along the Global Standards of Social Work Education and Training and the integration of innovative solutions and learning results that arise out of the pandemic. This synthesis can then be used to contribute to the further development of social work practice education.
