The A+ of a practice doctorate [electronic resource] / Johnson Chun-Sing Cheung. - pp. 127-140.
In light of the growing trend of developing practice doctoral degree programmes in social work, the author uses the first Doctor of Social Work (DSW) programme in Hong Kong, which is a unique programme in China, as a case study to examine the pedagogy and constraints of doctoral programmes in social work. The programme serves as an alternative to a typical PhD programme and is designed particularly for seasoned practitioners in the field who strive to achieve a balance between a research and practice orientation and between an academic and a pragmatic focus. This paper emphasises that, to stand out from the crowd, practice doctorates in Hong Kong should take part in practice-based research and publish in refereed journals. 依照發展實踐博士學位社會工作課程的趨勢發展，作者使用全香港首個社會工作博士學位課程，同時是中國唯一的同類課程作為案例研究，去考究社會工作博士課程的教學法與限制。此項課程可作為典型的博士課程的替代，特別是設計予經驗豐富的業內實踐者，讓他們努力達成於學術及務實中的研究與實踐取向之間取得平衡。本論文強調，為求在人群中脫穎而出，在香港的實踐型博士應該參與實踐為本研究及於權威期刊發表論文
