This research focuses on the decision making processes of choosing social work as students' career using quantitative analysis. Three different subjects were compared by school types and enrollment channels: first, the ''priority ranking'' of choosing social work while taking the college entrance examination; second, the self-evaluation of ''academic performance'' after admitting into social work department; third, the ''willingness to engage in social work'' after graduation. The data comes from the research project of ''Social Work Students’Professional Identity and Career Commitment - Comparisons of four types of universities.'' The sample size is 860. Four findings were discussed. First, before entering the university, as many as 60% of the students selected social work as the first priority, and 70% of the students evaluate their study attitude as ''hard working''. Second, after graduation, 76% of them are willing to commit their careers in social work, and most of them devoted themselves to the fields of ''children, adolescent, women, and family.'' Third, compared with the other three types of schools, the public university students' priority ranking of social work is lower in college entrance examination, and their willingness to engage in social work after graduation is also low. Fourth, compared with other enrollment channels, those who were recommended by their high schools and those who were enrolled by the individual application have a higher loyalty and professional identity toward the social work department. |
