The subject of social work is the provision of the context in which people can solve their own -sometimes very complex -social problems in collaboration with social workers. Within social work, those who face such problems, i.e. the users of social work, are seen as "experts from experience" (Madsen, 2007; McLaughlin, 2009) -the ones that best know their own lives. In working on their problems, the users of social work as experts from experience collaborate with social workers as equals. With this in mind, my aim in this article is to present a participatory model of social work with creative media that I have developed in my practical and theoretical work in social work using creative media. I named this model the "Spiral Participatory Model of Research, Planning, Implementation and Evaluation of Creative Media". This model is an upgrade of the so called "circular model of social and cultural activity" as developed by the researchers at Hogeschool Nijmegen in the Netherlands (Šugman Bohinc, 1994). In particular I enhanced the evaluation dimensions of this model using the theoretical concepts of the cybernetics of the first, second and third orders, group work, and methods of participatory research. I see the proposed spiral participatory model as enabling social workers, the users of their services and any other participants to work together, while using creative media, in order to create a context in which the voices of all participantparties can be heard, and which enables all participants to find their own effective solutions to their focal issues.
Izvirni znanstveni članekPraktično usposabljanje je pomemben del izobraževanja za socialno delo. V času pandemije covida-19 je zaradi ukrepov, povezanih z zmanjševanjem širjenja virusa, potrebovalo številne prilagoditve (sodelovanje z uporabniki na daljavo, zmanjšanje ur prakse ipd.), to pa je za študentke in mentorice pomenilo nove izzive. V članku predstavljamo doživljanje izvedbe praktičnega usposabljanja za socialno delo v Sloveniji v času prvega vala epidemije covida-19 z vidika mentoric in študentk. Rezultati raziskave kažejo, da se pri deležnikih pojavlja različno zadovoljstvo z izvedbo prakse v spremenjenih okoliščinah. Izzivi študentk so bili povezani predvsem z nemožnostmi za sodelovanje z uporabniki in dodatno obremenjenostjo zaradi prilagoditev študijskega procesa, pri mentoricah pa s tem, kako zagotavljati kakovostno mentorstvo in omogočati pričakovane izkušnje v takšnih okoliščinah. Študentke so zaradi spremenjene situacije pridobile več novih znanj, tako vsebinskih kot tudi tistih, povezanih z uporabo informacijsko-komunikacijske tehnologije. Ugotovitve raziskave tudi kažejo, da je pri spoprijemanju študentk z izzivi na praksi ključna podpora mentoric (s Fakultete za socialno delo in učnih baz), saj jim da znanje, kako se na izzive odzvati.Ključne besede: praktično usposabljanje, mentorstvo, zadovoljstvo, pandemija, kombinirana raziskava. Dr. Tadeja Kodele je asistentka na Fakulteti za socialno delo. Njeno področje dela so socialno delo z mladimi, participacija otrok in socialno delo z družino.
