Abstract

This study used Q methodology to analyze the subjective perception types of the preliminary social workers who performed social welfare field training in the COVID-19 situation. As a result of the analysis, a total of four types of subjective perceptions about the social welfare field practice experience of the students who completed social welfare field training were derived. The type were that ‘Measures need to be developed’, ‘uncertainty of the performance of practical education’, ‘More needed role in times of disaster’, ‘The meaning of practice in the contextual limitations of practical education’. Based on these perceptions of the students, three suggestions are as follows. A sustainable social welfare practice education system even in the closed situation of social welfare practice sites, education for the diversification of social welfare service provision methods that can be used in the social disaster situations, and strengthening competence in the social welfare and the nature of the social worker’s role.
