Research Paradigm as a Value Guideline for Professional Training of Future Social Workers

Abstract

The need for R&D of social workers was due to the development of theoretical and methodological approaches and concepts of social work, the application of which involved the use of specific research tools. It is substantiated that the research subsystem of social work can be represented in the form of a model of the research environment, which reflects the relationship of three components: the social problem, methods of its research and tools for solving. The dialectical nature of social work, as well as the dynamic conditions in which it is carried out, determine a set of socio-economic, managerial and pedagogical factors that actualize the need for research in the social field. It is substantiated that R&D today is an integral element of professional social practice and is implemented both in the process of working with different categories of clients and in administrative and managerial activities. R&D provides adequate social order development of targeted comprehensive programs, projects and technologies of social protection, design and implementation of models of social institutions and services. As a result of a comprehensive study of the problem, the essential characteristics of R&D were clarified, which means the activity of obtaining new scientifically based knowledge aimed at purposeful change of social reality, which is realized in a logical sequence through the use of appropriate forms and methods of scientific knowledge. It is proved that R&D in the system of social work is realized at three levels (reflexive-theoretical, experimental-theoretical and research), each of which involves step-by-step actions (problem definition; hypothesis formulation, choice of research methods and tools; implementation of research plan; evaluation of results) and the use of appropriate research methods.

Psycholinguistic Aspects of Youth Speech. Consequences and Realities of Postmodernism in Ukraine

“…In postmodern realities, such oppositions make no sense. The postmodern philosophy imagines the world as multiple, segmented, and plural, and the discourse as universal, but does not accept their structural or functional representations Nerubasska, Palshkov, & Maksymchuk, 2020;Onishchuk, Ikonnikova, Antonenko, Kharchenko, et al, 2020;Honcharuk, et al, 2021;Povidaichyk, et al, 2021). Therefore, psycholinguistics is to some extent a compromise discipline, as it studies the anthropological, sometimes personal ontology of language, speech, discourse (discoursology) as phenomena of the same order or rather a single plan of existence, which is divided (in the human world) only on ontogenetic, existential or situational level.…”

The Main Aspects of New Ukrainian School: Child-Centeredness, Competence Approach, Pedagogy of Partnership

“…Noteworthy is an article by Morse et al, (2015) in which the authors consider the model: "School -Community -Child-centeredness", that is, learning is focused on a competency-based approach to the child. Of course, students are recipients of services, they should feel healthy, safe, feel care and support (Honcharuk, 2021;Povidaichyk, 2021;Shahina, 2017;Berbets, 2021;Maksymchuk, 2020a). Child-centeredness contains 5 principles:  the child is healthy and follows a healthy lifestyle;  an emotionally and physically safe environment is created for her in the institution;…”
