Social work as a profession: As perceived by Slovenian and Croatian social work students
Article Abstract:
Studies were conducted to assess how social work as a profession was perceived by Slovenian and Croatian social work students, which found that the Slovenian students were more critical towards social work as a profession that services `government' functions but were also more demanding towards the profession with regard to its content. The Croatian students, probably in keeping with the social and political reality of their country, had smaller demands, and they agreed with the administrative function of the profession and believed in the general system values.
