History

About CSWCD

Initiated as a Social Welfare Section within the Department of Sociology and Social Welfare in 1950 in the then College of Liberal Arts, the present College of Social Work and Community Development (CSWCD) became a separate Department of Social Work by 1961 and evolved into the Institute of Social Work and Community Development in 1969 through R.A. 5174 which was passed in 1967. Its reclassification as a full-fledged college was prompted by the University’s move to standardize the nomenclature of academic units performing similar functions. The CSWCD offers graduate and undergraduate programs in both social work and community development, as well as graduate programs on women and development.

Historical Milestones

1961 – The College of Liberal Arts launched the Department of Social Work in recognition of the increasing demand for social work and community development professionals.

1965 – The passage of RA 4373 established the Bachelor of Science in Social Work as the educational requirement for the practice of the profession.

1967 – The passage of RA 5174 established the Institute of Social Work and Community Development (ISWCD) at UP, providing funds for a separate building. It also gave birth to the Department of Community Development.

1987 – From ISWCD to CSWCD, the Institute was reclassified as a full-fledged college.

1989 – CSWCD’s commitment to marginalized women and their communities gave birth to the inclusion of a graduate degree program in Women and Development Studies. it became a full-fledged Department in 2001.

Announcements

REDO Training Course Offerings 2015

The Sikhay Kilos Development Association Inc, is a partner institution of the UP-CSWCD composed of its faculty, staff and students. As its name connotes, “Sikhay” means conscientious and principled initiative while “Kilos” literally means action. Sikhay Kilos aims to advance the welfare concerns of the poor, marginalized and/or vulnerable groups and communities in the Philippines. Further, it seeks to develop, initiate and implement programs and projects in social development; disseminate knowledge and establish partnerships and linkages in pursuing its goals. These goals are in line with the vision of the College that focus on the promotion of justice, peace and sustainable well-being shared by the Filipino people and the global community.

The Research and Extension for Development Office (REDO) is one of the academic units of the UP-CSWCD who shares this mission and carry this out through its research, extension and publication programs. Specifically, REDO’s functions include (1) theory-building as support to academe; (2) capability building as support to people’s movement and/or social change through training of community leaders and development professionals; and (3) advocacy and networking to influence policies and programs in relation to social development endeavors.

As an extension arm of the College, REDO conducts training programs for development workers and community leaders in the areas of social development. Below are the training courses to be offered for the last quarter of 2015.

Community Organizing Amidst Evolving Concerns in Social Development

This course aims to provide the participants with an overview of the concepts, processes, and approaches in organizing work in the context of Philippine reality. In-depth analysis of case studies on the emerging trends in social movements such as involvement of people’s organizations’ leaders in local and national governance, gender mainstreaming and the integration of disaster risk reduction and management in organizing will be presented. The course seeks to enhance the organizing skills of the participants that will aid them in preparing a re-entry plan with their respective organizations.

Dates: Fee: Php 10,000.00 Contact Person: Celeste F. Vallejos/Michelle Madali/Mary Antonnette F. de Leon Venue: Bulwagang Tandang Sora (BTS), UP-CSWCD

Enhancing the Supervisor’s Capability in Mentoring/Coaching

The three day, live-out training aims to enhance the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of middle level supervisors in providing the needed support to improve the functioning of the supervisees. The focus is on making them proactive in intervening when there are performance gaps among the supervisees and systematically and purposively providing opportunities for their growth in their work. Mentoring is an important task of the supervisor. However, his/her administrative responsibilities usually take precedence over upgrading the supervisee’s performance. Coaching is guiding and instructing an employee on how to do a job so that it satisfies performance goals. On the other hand, mentoring is providing guidance, advice, and encouragement through an ongoing one-on-one work relationship (Samuel Certo, Supervision, 2006)
