Research on Curriculum Reform of Master of Social Work Based on Competency Characteristics: Taking “Social Work Ethics” as an Example

This study analyzes the competency characteristics of social workers through behavioral event interviews with front-line social workers. It connects the teaching of social work ethics with the cultivation of competency characteristics for master’s students in social work, taking competency characteristics as the training goal for postgraduates. In the teaching of social work ethics, educational reforms are implemented by establishing the core socialist values as an important basis for social work values, regarding individual dignity and value as the fundamental goal of social work, and adopting heuristic teaching to promote student participation. This teaching reform provides an empirical reference for cultivating social work professionals with strong practical capabilities.
