“…Previous studies have found that critical consciousness or critical thinking was eliminated by Chinese social workers in their practice (Lei and Huang, 2018). In contrast, this study suggests that critical consciousness can be a central predictor of success under the competence framework as identified by Colby (2009).…”

“…The International Association of Schools of Social Work (IASSW) and the International Federation of Social Workers (IFSW) have put emphasis on fostering practitioners with the ability of critical self-reflexivity irrespective of contexts (Sewpaul and Jones, 2004). Critical consciousness is included throughout the social work competence framework in the United Kingdom and the United States (Colby, 2009; O’Hagan, 2007). By making people feel attached to and capable of their work, critical consciousness was found to help prevent or ameliorate burnout (Diemer et al, 2015).…”

Critical consciousness, as a core competence of western social workers and a type of personal resource, has been diminished in China. This study examined whether critical consciousness buffered the effect of role stress on burnout with a nationally representative sample. Results showed that critical consciousness prevented emotional exhaustion and depersonalization in social workers suffering from role stress while it did not enable them to perceive personal accomplishment. The results carry implications for maintaining social workers’ workplace well-being and professional pursuits by incorporating critical consciousness into their professional competence and personal resources.

“…Koлби (Colby, 2009) истиче да традиционални приступ, у образовању и пракси социјалног рада, за пружање информација у пасивној форми није више довољан за постизање компетенција повезаних с критичким размишљањем. Односно, идеја да професор (или практичар) пасивно преноси информације студентима (или корисницима), без укључивања истих у различите дискусије и дијалоге не доноси позитивне исходе.…”

In this paper, the authors discuss about the importance of critical thinking in the education of social workers, as well as its implications in the practice of this profession. Namely, the authors start from the assumption that students largely uncritically accept knowledge as true, reliable and accurate. On the other hand, the paper shows how critical thinking can be encouraged in the classroom. In the light of this, the authors analyze the components of critical thinking, a brief history of it (in context of social work practice), as well as various contemporary paradigms in this context. At the end of paper, there is a room for potential challenges, as well as barriers in the implementation of the above-mentioned paradigms in the educational system.
