“…The requirement that all new professional social work graduates have the European Computer Driving Licence (ECDL) in order to practise as social workers, gives academics and trainers on social work courses an opportunity to drive the ICT agenda. Macgowan and Beaulaurier (2005) already note that the use of computer technology in teaching social work practice is more frequent. By moving beyond the functional requirements of the ECDL, stakeholders in developing a social work practice can provide additional inputs in how to engage with the technology in a way that can empower service users.…”

This article argues that ICT has been viewed with suspicion and has been narrowly used in social work primarily for managerial and monitoring purposes. In light of the emphasis within social work on empowerment, the potential of ICT to facilitate empowering practice is explored • Findings: The article argues the social work profession should more actively challenge and resist the limited use made of ICT, and promote the appropriate use of ICT to improve social work practice and empower service users. • Applications: The article provides a rationale for using ICT in social work to address issues of service user powerlessness and economic and social exclusion. The potential uses to which ICT might be put within social work are discussed and examples are given of innovative social practice using ICT that could be usefully developed more widely. Keywords empowerment information technology social workThis article explores how ICT (information and communication technology) has been used in social work and argues that the social work profession needs to reclaim ICT for practice-oriented and service user-focused outcomes.

“…While this limited focus on qualitative research may be purposeful, the qualitative module approach also misses a fine opportunity to link teaching about practice and theory with research. Social work practice courses, and engagement in the messiness of real-world practice, address and develop parallel knowledge and skills that faculty can and should link to qualitative research knowledge, values, and skills (Macgowan and Beaulaurier, 2005). At least the faculty could clarify the differences between doing practice and doing research using similar techniques (Gilgun, 1994).…”

This article examines the interdisciplinary literature in order to define core content areas and course structures used in teaching qualitative research. The available literature on teaching qualitative research is very small and consists mainly of ''one off'' papers that do not develop topics in depth. This article identified 10 broad topics as important to the effective teaching of qualitative research. A variety of curriculum structures and course formats currently used in social work education are examined. Approaches to teaching design and theory, and more project-based approaches to active leading are distinguished. Recommendations for expanding and enhancing the teaching of qualitative research conclude the article.
