This study examined 215 BSW students’ perceived confidence, skills, attitudes, and self-efficacy regarding technology use before and after taking a social work and technology course. Significant differences were found in all factors except attitude. Age was negatively correlated with perceived skills and self-efficacy. Qualitative data on how students felt about technology in their future roles as social workers identified six themes: better service provision, changes in communications, improved access and productivity, client involvement, concerns with confidentiality, and role of technology. Recommendations for future research and implications for social work education and practice are discussed. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
