SAFODIEN, Mohamed. Social work 4.0? The Fourth Industrial Revolution and social work education: a South African perspective. Social work (Stellenbosch. Online) [online]. 2021, vol.57, n.3, pp.257-271. ISSN 2312-7198. http://dx.doi.org/10.15270/52-2-946.
The First and Second Industrial Revolutions created significant disruptions in the social life and economic activities of human societies globally. Traditionally, social work practice has had a strong "face-to-face" foundation. Emerging technologies in the Third and Fourth Industrial Revolutions such as computers, mobile technologies, big data, internet of things, artificial intelligence and virtual reality are now creating a potential disruption in the traditional practice of social work. The emergence of e-social work and social work informatics broadens the scope of practice of social work in the 21st century. This article will examine the implications for social work education.
