1、介紹社會工作基礎理論與方法，目的在使同學培養洞察力、培養剖析診斷人與社會問題的能力，及解決問題能力。

「社會工作概論」是學習社會工作知識的基礎課程，這門課亦是社會工作初學者的學習指南，可協助修課者認識社會工作基礎理論與方法、瞭解社會工作願景與價值、培養洞察力、培養剖析診斷人與社會問題的能力，及解決問題能力。基於此，本課程規劃了社會工作歷史發展、社會工作基本概念、社會工作理論、社會工作專業方法、社會工作倫理等5大內容，以助落實上揭教學目標。
一般教學課程皆會以認知、情意與實作當做是課程目標，本課程亦不例外，惟因修課者皆為大一新生，是故實作內容會較少，課程進行方式以教師講授為主，並視學生學習狀況補充實務工作經驗分享或機構參訪。期待透過這門課的學習，協助學生掌握和理解社會工作知識／實踐梗概，並能做為未來社會工作相關課程學習目標與方向設定時的參酌基礎。

"Introduction to Social Work" is a basic course for learning social work knowledge. This course is also a study guide for social work beginners. It can help students understand the basic theories and methods of social work, understand the vision and value of social work, cultivate insight, develop the ability to analyze and diagnose human and social problems, and develop problem-solving abilities. Based on this, this course has planned five major contents including the historical development of social work, basic concepts of social work, social work theory, social work professional methods, and social work ethics to help implement the above teaching objectives.
General teaching courses will take cognition, emotion and practice as the course objectives, and this course is no exception. However, since the students are all freshmen, there will be less practical content. The course will be mainly taught by teachers, and will be supplemented by practical work experience sharing or institutional visits depending on the student's learning status. We hope that through the study of this course, we can help students master and understand the outline of social work knowledge/practice, and that it can serve as a basis for reference when setting learning goals and directions for future social work-related courses.
