This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of the School Social Work Program on students' social behaviors in terms of learning outcomes. In the study, there is a program prepared with the aim of creating a model for the implementation of "School Social Work" practices in Turkey. The universe of the study is a secondary school determined by the District Directorate of National Education in Sakarya; and the study sample is 125 students at the 5th, 6th, 7th grade levels. The data of the study were collected with the Social Behavior Observation Form developed by the researcher. Before the School Social Work Program was implemented, a Social Behavior Observation Form, which was required to be filled in for each student, was distributed to the teachers. The program designed by the researcher was implemented for 6 months, and after the completion of the program, the Social Behavior Observation Form was distributed to the teachers again. In practice, it was observed that there was a significant difference at the beginning and end of the program in Social Behavior Observation Form measurements. With the data analyzed using the experimental model, one of the quantitative research methods, an increase was observed in students' social sensitivity, social responsibility and effective communication skills. The program has shown that students create positive attitudes in their social behaviors including doing good and they gain awareness about social problems. In this context, it is thought that the School Social Work Program improves the social responsibility awareness of the students and will contribute positively to the students' ability to create their plans for the future. At the end of this study, it has been suggested that school social work practices, which focus on the well-being of the student on the axis of problem-needs, aiming at the social development of the student as well as academic success, should be started in Turkey, so that students can gain experience by living, be aware of their individual differences, and benefit the society.

It is one thing to realize the first steps taken towards a solution by identifying problems in school environments, it is another thing to be able to reach solutions. In this context, the research draws attention to the fact that education produces solutions together with all stakeholders and follows the solution processes in order to improve the academic success of students in secondary education and to ensure their socialization. At the same time, it reveals the need to carry out preventive activities and develop necessary policies to solve the biopsychosocial and spiritual problems encountered in schools. Meeting this need reveals the importance of school social work at the point of ensuring and maintaining child welfare. The main purpose of this research is to determine the perceptions of administrators, teachers and guidance teachers about the concept of social work. The study group of the research consists of 10 administrators, 10 teachers and 10 guidance teachers working in public secondary education in the 2019-2020 academic year through case sampling. The interview method was used in the qualitative research process in order to examine further and to reach a rich variety of information in the research. Qualitative data were collected with a semistructured interview form, and Nvivo 12 program was used in the analysis. Descriptive and content analysis techniques were used in the analysis of qualitative data. As a result of the analyzes, it was found that the knowledge of the administrators, teachers and guidance teachers about the social work profession was insufficient, however, their views on social work were positive and the need for school social work was at a "high" level. In the light of the results of the research on the general philosophy of the working perspective that will ensure continuous improvement and development, it is recommended to establish school social work units in secondary education institutions and to employ social workers in these units immediately in order to make school social work functional.
