TL;DR: The fit between social work education and practice in health care and six key areas of the peer-reviewed literature are addressed: vulnerable populations/diversity, ethical dilemmas, interdisciplinary collaboration, mental health, managed care/accountability, and advocacy.
Abstract: This study addresses the fit between social work education and practice in health care. A random sample of NASW members identifying with health care (N = 179) responded to a mail survey about the utility of core knowledge and roles that we had identified by reviewing seven commonly used health care social work texts. Quantitative data revealed knowledge and roles most frequently used in health care settings as well as differences in roles used dependent upon department name; and different professionals supervising social workers. Qualitative data from four open-ended questions provided suggestions for what knowledge and skills should be taught in social work programs, the best forums/methods for teaching this content, and topics for continuing education. Findings are discussed in relation to six key areas of the peer-reviewed literature: vulnerable populations/diversity, ethical dilemmas, interdisciplinary collaboration, mental health, managed care/accountability, and advocacy. Implications for social work practice, education, and research are discussed.

1 Nov 1995TL;DR: In this article, a theory of conceptual development is presented, the main construct of which is the "central conceptual structure", defined as networks of semantic nodes and relations which represent children's core knowledge and which can be applied to a full range of tasks in a given domain.
Abstract: This monograph presents a theory of conceptual development, the main construct of which is the "central conceptual structure". These structures are defined as networks of semantic nodes and relations which represent children's core knowledge and which can be applied to a full range of tasks in a given domain. Comprehensive cross-cultural testing of model structures and a six-year programme of instructional research show how the transformation of these central conceptual structures have a powerful influence on subsequent knowledge acquisition. The work should interest cognitive scientists, educational psychologists and child development specialists.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors offer a different view of the beginning points of cognitive development from Gopnik's picture of "theories all the way down." Human infants are endowed with several distinct core systems of knowledge which are theory-like in some, but not all, important ways.
Abstract: While endorsing Gopnik's proposal that studies of the emergence and modification of scientific theories and studies of cognitive development in children are mutually illuminating, we offer a different picture of the beginning points of cognitive development from Gopnik's picture of "theories all the way down." Human infants are endowed with several distinct core systems of knowledge which are theory-like in some, but not all, important ways. The existence of these core systems of knowledge has implications for the joint research program between philosophers and psychologists that Gopnik advocates and we endorse. A few lessons already gained from this program of research are sketched.
