社會問題的本質是「社會的」，也是「問題的」，本課程從鉅視面思考，希望能協助學生懂得如何對台灣社會問題有「事實瞭解」，基於理論有「原因分析」，並且偏重社會工作部分「實際面對」。
課程看重結構性的社會問題，掌握這一點是進行社會問題認識和分析的第一個起點。本課程對於「社會問題」的部分有四個核心問題需要討論：第一，什麼是社會問題？第二，是什麼將一個問題變成「社會(性)問題」？第三，社會問題的成因是什麼？第四，針對社會問題，人們可以有何作為？社會工作則是著重在瞭解社會問題之後如何應用社會工作知能和方法於各個實務工作場域。
因此，培養學生敏銳觀察分析社會問題的能力及學習將之運用於社會工作實務上，是本課程的期許和目標。
The essence of social problems is "social" and "problematic." This course thinks from a macro perspective, hoping to help students understand how to have a "factual understanding" of Taiwan's social problems, and to conduct "cause analysis" based on theory, and it focuses on The social work component is "practical".
The course focuses on structural social issues, and mastering this is the first starting point for understanding and analyzing social issues. There are four core issues that need to be discussed in the "Social Issues" part of this course: First, what are social issues? Second, what turns a problem into a "social (sexual) problem"? Third, what are the causes of social problems? Fourth, what can people do to address social problems? Social work focuses on how to apply social work knowledge and methods to various practical work fields after understanding social problems.
Therefore, it is the expectation and goal of this course to cultivate students' ability to keenly observe and analyze social problems and learn to apply them in social work practice.
