Why Did They Choose Group Work: Exploring Motivations and Perceptions of Current MSW Students of Group Work

Abstract

This article reports on an empirical study that examined motivations, perceptions, and other factors associated with MSW students' decisions to specialize in social group work. In many ways, the future of social group-work practice depends on the extent to which schools of social work produce graduates who possess specialized group-work knowledge. The research question of this descriptive, exploratory study sought to examine the factors, beliefs, and perceptions that influence students' decisions to take advanced classes in social group work. Overall, the results of this study can be used to provide knowledge and insight about practical and theoretical issues within group-work education.
