| Summary: | The issue of professional identity is the object of recurrent discussions in the field of social work. One can observe a situation of discomfort among the stakeholders when they have to legitimate their practice and distinguish between this practice and other relational occupations. Taking into consideration the major influence exerted by the initial education on the construction of the professional identity of students, the way these students adhere to the representations of the profession, which are shared by the professional group in general, can provide us with relevant information regarding the development on their identity. In this research, in which we study the conceptions of social work held by social work students in a French-speaking university in Québec (Canada), our objective is to identify the impacts that the initial education have on the professional identity-building process of future social workers. Firstly, we will expose the context in which took place our research project. Secondly, we will describe the methodological approach and the analytical procedure we adopted. Thirdly, we will outline the results we obtained. Finally, in the discussion, we will deal with the identity-building process among social work students and some broader issues related to social work education. |
