Course objectives
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with religious, philosophical and ethical bases of social welfare and the history of social care and social work in the context of social policy in Europe and also in Czech and Slovak territories. The course follows the development of the various forms of social care and social work from antiquity to the turn of the 19th and 20th century, and the subsequent genesis and development of social work as a specialised professional field and scientific discipline. This issue is traced on three interconnected levels, so that after passing the course, students are well oriented in the historical development of philosophical aspects and motivations of social care and its organizational forms, and in the content changes of social care and social work. Study Outcomes: Professional Knowledge: The students have an overview of the available literature, they can distinguish the main developmental stages of social care and social work, they understand contemporary and current terminology. They demonstrate basic knowledge about the development of religious, philosophical and ethical views on the issues of the state and the citizen, charitable activities, social care and social work. They know individual historical forms and methods of assistance, starting with various gifts of the members of the elite, over the creation of formalized aid by municipalities and organizations to the legislatively grounded commitments of the state, municipalities and corporations to citizens and forms of their implementation. They demonstrate an understanding of the concepts of social care and assistance from the non-specialized meeting of diverse needs in the traditional society to specialized fields of assistance in the modern and post-modern society. Professional Skills: Students can search for and sort relevant information and produce a written characteristics of the various stages and forms of social work, they can interpret their historic conditionality and variability, they can comprise and interpret the fundamental differences between the historical and the modern forms of social care and social work in the context of social development and put them in mutual comparison.
