“…It is obvious that in the near future the challenges of social assistance will acquire a different profile. Despite this, scientists reviewed the literature and studied the issue of optimizing educational social programs and came to the conclusion that there are four promising directions for their improvement: a) development of social programs for children in order to prevent problem situations or solve them at an early stage; b) development of social programs focused on solving specific issues; c) development of social programs for the effective use of ICT in social work; d) reforming education in order to implement the above programs in social schools (Aguilar-Tablada et al, 2020). These areas are framework and require the development of specific methodological content for their solution.…”

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.

“…Technology, youth and social work are closely linked. Because several social work practices focus entirely on young people, the enhanced digital skills of both collectives could facilitate online services (Aguilar-Tablada et al, 2020). However, social workers need to increase their efforts in this regard with young people (Gómez-Ciriano et al, 2020).…”

“…As a new area of specialisation, e-social work involves introducing digital skills as part of future social workers' training. However, according to Cwikel and Friedmann (2019) and Aguilar-Tablada et al (2020), the digitalisation of social work practices remains in its early stages. In this regard, the COVID-19 pandemic has sped up the digital transformation process, which, in turn, has accelerated the development of e-social work.…”

This paper addresses a key issue in the development of youth-focused social work: the role of digital skills in the relationship between young people and social workers who work with these native digital users. To this end, we analysed data from the International Digital Economy and Society Index 2019 and Eurostat. Information from the sixth European Working Conditions Survey and a survey conducted by the Social Care Institute for Excellence and the British Association of Social Workers supported the empirical analysis. The main findings reveal a gap between the level of digital skills required in the labour market and the actual level of digital skills in both young people and social workers, despite efforts by both groups to improve their skills. Initiatives to foster digital skills are therefore recommended to bridge this digital divide. Lastly, it was concluded that both groups could act as mutual drivers of digital transformation.

Aguilar -Tablada et al [1] noted that one of the most important goals of teaching in academic institutions is to prepare students for future teaching life in academia, in society and work in the digital age, in a complex and ambiguous functioning and employment environment of insecurity and instability. How can we achieve this?…”

“…How to adopt technology in teaching optimally? In order to be successful, it is necessary to learn about the problems and difficulties that have failed previous attempts of this kind, and what the factors that promoted the absorption and successful use of technologies in teaching were [1]. Mioduser et al [5] noted that failed expectations in the use of innovative teaching technologies over the last hundred years have been made numerous attempts to adopt newly developed technologies for teaching.…”

We currently live in a digital world, surrounded by and immersed in technology. The pace of technological change and innovation is increasing and leading to massive changes in all aspects of our lives, including the way we teach and learn. Nevertheless, the design of teaching and learning in academic institutions in Israel hardly serves the needs of the digital revolution generation. In some cases, and in a number of educational institutions, the digital space is small and limited, and many student audiences are not exposed to it. Integrating digital knowledge is a key tool in the development of knowledge-intensive professions associated with the employment world of knowledge economy. is article attempts to examine how it is possible, and even required to integrate the acquisition of digital tools into the world of teaching, students, and teachers, in order to prepare the grounds for knowledge economy professions among learners.
