How Do Child Welfare Caseworkers Learn?

James P. Gleeson

the Jane Addams College of Social Work at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

A 1988 survey of 115 child welfare workers suggests that life experience, supervision on the job, self-directed learning projects, agency-sponsored inservice training, formal degree education, and professional continuing education all contribute to acquisition of essential practitioner knowledge and skills. Findings of this study are consistent with findings of research on adult learning and continuing education in the professions and suggest a multi-faceted approach to developing caseworkers for child welfare practice.
