The Reality of Social Work Education Electronically and Proposed Mechanisms for its Development

E-learning has become a significant and essential requirement to ensure the continuity of the learning process especially in the time of emergencies and crises. This type of learning provides the sufficient opportunities to out pass the time and place constraints. Theses constraints sometimes hinder the steadiness of the learning process. The current study aims at outlining the factual social work education electronically, the positives and negatives of the electronic social work education. This will aid to suggested mechanisms to develop it. This study relies on using the comprehensive social survey on 94 students in the department of sociology and social work at the university of science and technology in Fujairah. The study comes to the conclusion that the electronic work education was high. This is due to the keenness of the social work professors on encouraging students to continually participate in discussions and their continuous follow-up of the students' academic achievements. As well as the high level of positives for social work education electronically from the students' point of view, through the ease of returning to the recorded lectures at any time, the ability to pursue studies anywhere, and reduce the cost and reduce the financial burden when moving, the study also confirmed the low level of negatives Social work education, online, from the students' point of view.
