Summary
Social work educators and practitioners adapted to online practices during COVID-19 social distancing. This reflection identifies four key domains of emerging knowledge and skills for online social work, enhancing media technology use.
Area of Science:
- Social Work Practice
- Online Education
- Media Technology
Background:
- The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated prolonged social distancing, impacting social work practice.
- Social work educators and practitioners in Hong Kong transitioned to online service delivery and education.
Purpose of the Study:
- To reflect on and consolidate practice experiences during the shift to online social work.
- To identify emerging knowledge and skills relevant to online social work practice and education.
Main Methods:
- Reflective consolidation of practice experience.
- Identification and categorization of insights into four key domains: Context, Conversation, Communication-Modality, and Circulation.
Main Results:
- Online social work practice during social distancing revealed distinct knowledge and skill requirements.
- Four domains—Context, Conversation, Communication-Modality, and Circulation—emerged from the reflective analysis.
- These domains highlight the unique aspects of conducting social work through digital media.
Conclusions:
- Online practices in social work during the COVID-19 pandemic have generated valuable new knowledge and skills.
- Understanding these four domains can help social work professionals better leverage media technologies.
- Further discussion and development of these insights are recommended for the advancement of online social work.

36
Since the early 2000s, computer-mediated communication (CMC) has grown rapidly, playing a crucial role in self-development. A key distinction between CMC and real-life interactions is the lack of a physically present partner. This absence makes non-verbal cues such as facial expressions, body language, and paralinguistic signals unavailable in CMC platforms like email, instant messaging, or social media. The lack of these cues can create ambiguity and complicate how feedback is interpreted.The...

Social psychology examines how the real or imagined presence of others influences individuals' thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. A key concept in this field is the role of social context in shaping behavior. The same individual may act differently depending on the social setting, due to the varying expectations and norms associated with each environment. This context-dependent behavior illustrates the influence of social roles, which prescribe appropriate conduct in specific situations.Social...

Human behavior is intricately shaped by social influences that arise from interactions with others in diverse contexts. These influences not only mold beliefs and attitudes but also drive the regulation of behaviors through both direct communication and observational learning. The study of these processes falls within the domain of social psychology, which seeks to understand how individuals are affected by and affect those around them.Mechanisms of Social InfluenceDirect social influence...

01:30Types of Impact

Impacts can be classified in various forms, primarily under two subgroups: central impact and oblique impact. A central impact occurs when two objects collide head-on, possessing opposite velocities aligned along the line of impact. Conversely, an oblique impact occurs when two objects collide at an angle, resulting in a modification of both direction and velocity.

02:10Social Scripts
10.0K
People tend to know what behavior is expected of them in specific, familiar settings. A script is a person’s knowledge about the sequence of events expected in a specific setting (Schank & Abelson, 1977). Essentially, scripts are a particular kind of schema, one containing default values for the features within an event. In the restaurant example, the script's features include the props (e.g., tables, menu, food, and money), the roles to be played (e.g., customer and waiter),...
