    XU Daowen
    SOCIAL WORK AND MANAGEMENT, 2012, 12 (6): 5-11. 
    Abstract    HTML ( ) PDF (539KB) ( 2562 )
    Owing to lack of overall design, continuing education system of social workers in China is characterized by blurred orientation, fragmentary organization and selfcontradiction. Problems emerge with the system such as the training form and content being inadequate to meet the needs of social workers, training time varying widely, training effect being unsatisfactory, training infrastructure needing improvement, and social work in rural areas needing support due to uneven development between urban and rural social work. To improve the continuing education system, a scientific and reasonable management system and an operating mechanism should be established, and a lifelong education system of social work need be constructed.

It is proposed that integrated services center should focus on four targets, which are to promote community development, to advocate public participation in the course, to meet residents’ demand in the end, and to establish an operation mechanism. It is advised that the orientation be completed securely, periodically and synthetically so as to promote a benign development of community services system.

    JI Wenxiao1, CHEN Tao2
    SOCIAL WORK AND MANAGEMENT, 2012, 12 (6): 38-43. 
    Abstract    HTML ( ) PDF (505KB) ( 2571 )
    At present, more attention has been paid to government, market system and the third party in the academic research of the welfare supply. Besides the institutional perspective, a cultural perspective is also worthwhile. This paper explores localized practice or social fact “renqin” in China’s context for its meaning and theoretical construction. “Renqin” is a process of role transformation, through identity construction, relationship restructuring and positive motivation, realizing selfidentity, social identity and cultural identity. The biggest significance of “renqin” lies in the welfare identity based on rational communication.

    From Sensory Order to Competitive Order——F. A. Hayek’s Dispersed Knowledge Theory and its Criticism
    CHEN Dezhong
    SOCIAL WORK AND MANAGEMENT, 2012, 12 (6): 44-50. 
    Abstract    HTML ( ) PDF (437KB) ( 2906 )
    As is well known, Hayek puts forward his dispersed knowledge theory based on his criticism of the theory of “perfect knowledge”, where he criticizes the concept of stationary equilibrium alleged by traditional economic theory. And as is usually ignored, Hayek argued furthermore that facts in social sciences are highly dependent on the epistemic subject, and that we rely on a system of classification of objects to organize our knowledge. The theory of objective classification of knowledge offers an explanation to Hayek’s dispersed knowledge theory, while the organizing of dispersed individual knowledge is wholly dependent on the market competition as a discovery procedure. Hayek’s overemphasis on the role of market competition is criticized by contemporary scholars such as L. Liggio and L. Hurwicz, with the latter arguing, contrary to Hayek’s famous standpoint, against government intervention, that spontaneous disorder should demand human intervention. Such criticism leads to the birth of modern mechanism design theory.

    Abstract    HTML ( ) PDF (449KB) ( 3028 )
    A questionnaire is used to investigate humanistic quality of students in universities of technology along three dimensions: attitude of humanistic quality education, learning and mastery of general knowledge and courtesy cultivation. The survey results show that students generally consider it necessary to strengthen humanistic education, and they also pay attention to their own courtesy cultivation, but they tend to evaluate school humanistic educational activity as low, regard humanities knowledge learning as purposetargeted, and lack humanities knowledge reserve. The single mode of humanistic education and the lack of humanistic atmosphere on campus and longterm mechanism of humanistic education are the main factors restricting humanistic education effect. Therefore, it is necessary by incorporating natural science education with humanistic education, to extend the college humanistic field, enrich the ways of humanistic education, and innovate the humanistic practice mode.

    On the Concept of Contemporary Dress Style Design——Exploring Feminine Charisma and the Freedom to Move
    YANG Shubin, CHANG Fang
    SOCIAL WORK AND MANAGEMENT, 2012, 12 (6): 77-82. 
    Abstract    HTML ( ) PDF (3438KB) ( 2665 )
     Dress has been a focus in clothing design, with a remarkable market prospect. Previously, research and discussion of dress design mostly dwelt upon the structural or technical level. In this paper, the design concepts and methods of contemporary dress styles are explored from two perspectives, namely, aesthetics and function. It is advocated to abandon trivial structural changes and give up large and heavy dress styles, which limit freedom to move. It is proposed as a principle that contemporary dress design should enhance female charisma and provide freedom of physical movement.
