When was your department established? He stood in jejího birth?
Department of adult education and social work at the Faculty of Arts PU in Presov, which guarantees a field of study social work is 40-year-old tradition in the training of experts in the field of higher education and adult education and 14 years in terms of the current concepts of social work.

The beginnings of the department are dated from 1964, when the department of education and teaching adults - the first of its kind in Slovakia. Development of the Department was from the very beginning until the present day marked by the frequent organizational changes: in the name of the department, field of study, in the curricula. Changes in the content of study related to the leak and developed a new, non-traditional fields with strong links to the changing socio-economic needs and conditions.

The birth of the department stood PhDr. John Roman Missal and further develop the concept of head of departments PhDr. Stefan méréssel, PhD. PhDr. Ing. Joseph Kubovská, doc. PhDr. Frantisek Karšay, PhD., Prof. PhDr. Andrej CUMA, PhD., Doc. PhDr. Marta Bačová, PhD. and prof. PhDr. Anna Tokárová, PhD. Basics of the study of social work began to create since 1990, when we are in the course of Education (now the name of Andragogics) to set up three specializations: social work, personnel management and Culture (in the 5-10. Semester).

In 1996, when the original University of Pavol Jozef Šafárik allocated a separate University in Presov, on the basis of these specialties created three separate courses. The parent department of adult education has been renamed to the Department adult education and social work in the academic year 1997/98 has been the adoption of the first students in the 5-year Master's degree in two separate departments Andragogics and social work. In doing so gradually and in parallel with the new departments will cease to exist department of adult education in those specialties.

Until recently, the department of 10 members, has recently given space for personal development, and so from the academic year 2004 / 5 will have 16 house members. To teaching in the field of social work and Andragogics involved each semester and about 20 teachers from other departments of philosophy faculty, other universities and practitioners. This year, the department celebrates 40th anniversary of its foundation, has more than 1 600 graduates.

What is the focus of department?
Department of guaranteeing both courses (in the daily study in study-time basis - JPA). Graduates of social work and Andragogics may continue to rigorous study, which leads to the title PhDr. Graduate Education graduates can study in the faculties of other universities, where they established the Joint Commission to trade for doctoral studies: in Andragogics at the Department of andragogiky Faculty of Arts in Bratislava and in the field of social work at the Faculty of Health and Social Work University of Trnava.

Content of social work at our department is aimed to provide a general profiling of social worker qualifications. The structure of the content in the 1-6. semester consists of selected basic disciplines, philosophical, psychological, pedagogical, andragogických, sociological, legal and economic sciences, which enable understanding of the nature and importance of social work with individuals and groups. Other terms are aimed at enhancing knowledge of selected Applied Sciences of man and society, and to study the socio-economic phenomena that are related to the life and problems of groups at risk and the activities of social assistance. From the next school year, after the expected accreditation of the faculty, the study of social Labor and andragogiky two-step - Bachelor's and Master's and will be implemented by means of credit study. The acquisition of rights to the third stage - post-graduate studies department of law at that time sought by - the necessary materials to the Accreditation Commission of the Czech Republic.

Scientific research, the department aims to develop teoretických bases andragogiky and social work and the application of its results in the learning process and social practice. In recent years, the research focuses in particular on the issue of the development of human potential, professionalism in the field of adult education and social work, equal opportunities, gender studies and in the quality of life. Department dealt with and dealt with a number of grants VEGA and regularly organize scientific conferences with international participation, in cooperation with relevant institutions (the Office of the Government, the Ministry of Labor, Social Affairs and Family, the Association of institutions of adult education in the Czech Republic (AIVD), the Association of educators in social work in the Czech Republic (AVvSP), the Academy of Education and others).

Conferences each year involved representatives of professional associations helping professions in the Czech Republic and Poland. From these conferences, we released a number of proceedings:

At the end of November 2004 organize another conference with international participation on the quality of life (data on the website of the Department of www.ff.unipo.sk / kvdsp).

Department is seeking the creation of the school text books and monographs, so as to gradually address the lack of, respectively. zastaralosťou with the basic study of literature. In co-operation and we AVvSP at the initiative of the textbook issue celoslovenskú social work Tokárová, A. et al.: Social Work. Chapters of the history, theory and methodology of Social Work (2002).

Jaká is a form of practice for your katedře?
Higher education training is the beginning of professional social worker and vzdelávateľa adults (Andragogé). For the optimal model considered complementary link theoretical and practical training. Our current concept of practical training continues in its philosophy to the traditions of our departments and the rich experience we have with the organization of domestic and foreign practices.

At present, professional experience is only in the daytime study, but think about the introduction of compulsory training and experience in registration for those students who are unemployed or do not work in the field of adult education and social work. The daily studies are carried out several forms of practical training - continuous, ongoing, preddiplomová practice, excursions, voluntary work.

Students of both unions during the semester receive continuous professional experience: in the winter semester of the first year of 5-day, and in any other semestroch to the fourth annual 10-day, in the 9th semester receive 15-day preddiplomovú practice. Preparation and evaluation of professional practice is implemented in seminars on professional practice, which leads guaranteed practice. During the entire study are entirely student 90 working days of professional experience, which in 6 hours a day represents 540 hours. If one adds to this the voluntary work in a variety of organizations and associations (students work in civic associations, friends, children's homes Smile as a gift, return, Barlička, in the institutions of the third sector, many well during the summer holidays "job" in the institutions of social assistance) to say that Our graduate has before entering the job at least a half-yearly practice.

This fact should be recognized and their future employers, because students have documented professional experience - confirmed by the Department and the institutions in the portfolio - the so-called. practice manual to accompany the student to practice throughout the study. Directs the Department of professional experience, by recommending that the students practice in the institutions with which we have concluded the cooperation contract, and that prescribes the types of practices (institutions) for each class. Adventure is not mandatory, as in the past, but sporadic organize their majority in the institutions in nearby places.

For the biggest problem of practical training of students is evident in the fact that there is no longer financially honor of supervisors' professional experience in the institutions - as is the study of pedagogy, medicine and other disciplines.'s Financial difficulties were the cause of another problem - Gap decade tradition of international practice, which We have reciprocally made with the University of Łódź, Poland, which brought two-way effect.

Currently, the črtajú new opportunities for international professional experience in grant EU projects. Optimization of professional practice is one of the priorities of our other goals. A great impetus in this direction will be the experience of other departments of social work, which are available in the zborniku from the first workshop on the practical training of social workers, organized by Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Constantine the Philosopher in Nitra Professional experience in the training of social workers (2003).

Collaborating with some school like focus? How?
We cooperate with the majority of departments, who are studying Andragogics and social work, directly, but also through the actions of these professional associations such as the AIVD, AVsSP (the creation of which our department has initiated and, together with the Department of Education and Social Work at PdF Matej Bel University in Banska Bystrica was set up), English teaching company SAS, the Slovak sociologická company SAS.

In particular, actively cooperate with the Department of andragogiky Faculty of Arts in Prague as Orthodox Theological Faculty Presov University, where there is also majoring in social work and the departments of our teachers to teach certain subjects. In the recently developed intensive cooperation also with the Department of andragogiky and Social Sciences Faculty of ground troops in ojenskej Academy in Liptovsky Mikulas, Department of Education Faculty of Arts, the Department of Social Work PdF Comenius University in Bratislava and also with the Department of Education PDF and the Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Constantine the Philosopher in Nitra (appreciate that held a round of all-Slovak student research and training activities in the field of social work).

You can specifika Get closer, the diversity of your department?
Field of study Social Work at the Faculty of Arts at Presov University has more specifics. The first is that majoring in social work focuses on social work with adults. This reflects the fact that the Social Work Department was established on the basis of adult education and the fact that the department is guaranteed by both the related fields of study (which have a very good mix of disciplines in a single work).

This is, for example, when entering the themes vintage and graduate work on the field of social work prefer the issue period of maturity and old age (while, of course nebránim interested in the problems of childhood and adolescence). Even in the course Andragogics, as well as other areas of practice (cultural personalistická or educational activities) discussed the social work (developing the theory of social andragogiky).

In the field of study Andragogics students to acquire basic knowledge in the field of social work, such as compulsory subjects in the Theory and Methods of Social Work, Social Policy, Social and employment counseling, labor market and unemployment. In the option compulsory, students can choose from any of the subjects of Social Work, but also, conversely, of the social work students choose subjects of Andragogics.

From the cohesion of both courses of study shows more specificity of our departments: the scientific research departments of the cross and study the problems of both disciplines and areas of the social practice (all the departments of internal teacher because he taught at both fields). The third specific of the Department is that the program of study subjects play an important role, with a particular target group of unemployed and the Roma, because we operate in the region with high unemployment and numerous ethnic Roma.

How looks the life of your students in the school location, the department?
In addition to teaching two years of distance learning of social work to be carried out in the field offices in Trebišove, most teaching takes place in the FA PU on 17th Street November 1, which are equipped with basic technical means. Teaching some items take place in a specialized computer lab FF PU, and a multimedia classroom.

Seminárnu Department has its own library and teaching equipment (overhead projector, a video camera, dictating machines, computers, radio). Directly in the university area is the Central Library PU, which is available to students required book and časopisecká literature. Due to the permanent interest of our courses and a large number of our students is not literature available in sufficient numbers, is available, however, copy (in a library , In the university area).

Students have access to the Internet in the free computers at the premises of the university and student homes. The department has its own website (www.ff.unipo.sk / kvdsp), where they are placed up to date information about the latest publications, forms of study, the Department of current events - conferences, admission tests, active students, rigorous trial tests, consultations and Others (This page will find our students, alumni and other visitors to the promotional material and information on passengers customer magazine for the Social Work / Social Work).

Regarding the mimovyučovacej areas of life of our students want to highlight the commitment of many students in volunteering and charitable activities: students organized a collection for those students socially deprived, developed or are involved in the implementation of aid projects Roma and other socially vulnerable groups. A long tradition and the general interest of students on the ball of our department, which is poriadajú full-time students (not connected with imatrikuláciou prvákov as rozlúčkou with PIATAKOV) and participate in them and many of our graduates and Dialkari.

Co všehno will be able to your graduate?
It is a difficult question, I can not answer it completely, but only in evidence. Our graduate social work controls the foundations of theory and practice of social work, social policy, the knowledge of the roles of the state administration, local authorities and non-state actors, acquires and should understand the essential facts, concepts and principles and methods of social work, learn the different paradigm, the concept of social work and interdisciplinary context.

Can analyze the issue of objectives, content, methods and forms of assistance for individuals and groups, understands the diversity and complexity of the causes of social problems, is able to professionally interpret their politico-economic and cultural context, can apply the basic knowledge of disciplines studied in solving social problems, is able to critically analyze and apply the full range of concepts and problems, effective decisions in the selection and use of methods, techniques and means of social assistance.

Of course, all these and other targeted professional assumptions depend on the rate of adoption of such specific (and) student (ka) sees information, perform the role of seminars and prepares for the test. I noted that the vast majority of our students tends to get during the study and professional experience as much knowledge and experience, in addition to the intensity of their performance, too many students ends with a red diploma.

Graduates of both disciplines on the domestic labor market is relatively well uplatňujú. Thanks to the broad profile of a graduate found in the field, or, if not find a job soon after the end of the study, do not long registered unemployed. Our graduates are in training a large number of highly recognized by the public as well as mass media personalities.

I can not, however, that I have not mentioned a problem for several years, unsuccessfully boríme with fewer teachers to teach foreign languages (for the low salary language education experts are not willing to teach at the university), and so are the students rely on individual improvement in foreign language, if they are to be applied in the future in the European labor market. For the sake of completeness, it must be added that many of our students in the mobility projects have passed on a number of universities part of their studies.

Jaký to the value system is oriented your school, department:
Under the general direction of our value orientation of the department consider the aforementioned complementarity of theoretical and practical training, which aims to build not only professional but also to develop the human potential of our students. For teachers is a major pedagogical experience, if at the end of the study is pleased to note, as changed, osobností "povyrástli" our students - our two departments.

Diploma is for us the great moral satisfaction for our (financial nedocenenú) Education and research and publications activities. The program of study and teaching of subjects of social work, we strive for a balance of multidisciplinary methodology or ideological approaches. Nepreferujeme the psychological, pedagogical, sociological, philosophical, theological, or any other, but we strive for a comprehensive, systemic, Synergetické a holistic approach to learning and addressing the problems of man and society.

In professional contacts with internal and external teachers stress the need to put emphasis on the teaching experience and zážitkovosť, the participatory method. An example might be one of the option compulsory courses of study therapy and education adventure and experience, in which students in a crisis situation navodenej on the ground and verify the complete prosociálnosť, emotional and social intelligence, his sense of reality, namely the ownership of the complex and challenging problem of the group.

Similarly, may be more articles, which emphasizes experience, empathy and humanity: Methods of Social Work with dependent subjects, methods of social work with the Roma, methods of social work with the unemployed, methods of social work with victims of violence, socioterapie basics of psychotherapy and so forth.

For the particularly important part of professional training of our students considered the involvement of students in the resolution of the research departments of topics, so we pay great attention to teaching methodology articles, seminars on the Year and master's thesis, we strive to maintain the high quality of writing skills (vintage, diploma and severe) works . Also, thanks to the last two years, our absolventky of Social Work (Mgr. Mary Sabolová - 1998) and Andragogics (Mgr. Martina Semešiová: interview: celebration - 2000) received in the competition graduates prestigious award is the People's Bank for education, more students received awards magazine Sociology and the Slovak sociological SAS in the competition diploma work in the field of Sociology.

Navázali you with some foreign school (the Department)?
Most intense and systematic contacts we have with the Department of Education Faculty of Social Sciences of the University of Łódź education in Poland. In addition to the above-mentioned exchange of professional experience in the past decade looking at the joint meeting of professional teachers, which in turn has to be undertaken Poland and Slovakia.

As a result, we have issued three joint proceedings:
• Education and training in the process of social change (1994);
• Problems teoretycznych-Metodologiczne Pedagogiki social work and social protection. From warsztatów badawczych poland-slowackich (2001) and
• Quality of life and human rights in the context of globalization and the power company (2002).

We are currently preparing a joint memoir focused on the issue of methods of social work in the institutions and brief the Polish and Czech-Polish-English dictionary of the terms of the social pedagogy, andragogiky and social work.

Incentives for the development and study of social work contacts with the "sister" andragogiky departments in the Czech Republic: Katero andragogiky and personálního Management Faculty of Arts in Prague and the Department of Sociology and andragogiky FF PU in Olomouc. Together with the Department of andragogiky Faculty of Arts in Prague to meet representatives of several departments almost every year, always on one of the scholars of land in Slovakia and the Czech Republic.

At these meetings to inform each other of the innovation programs, the focus of scientific research, the professional events, reviews the professional literature and the like. It should be added that part of the contents of a field of study, Andragogics to all these departments is also a focus on education and training in social work.

Equally challenging for us is the participation of representatives of schools of social work from universities in the Czech Republic (mainly from Ostrava, Brno, Hradec Kralove, Ceske Budejovice, Usti nad Labem, Opava) and Poland (in particular from Rzeszowa, Krakow, Olstyna) on the above-mentioned scientific conferences . We would welcome if the step up exchange visits of teachers lecture departments of social work and andragogiky.
