Keywords: Competence; knowledge; social work values.
Summary/Abstract: Knowledge is one of the most important parts of social worker competence. This profession requires knowledge in various social sciences including social work knowledge; consequently, social work knowledge becomes multipartite and complex. Due to this reason not only people unrelated to social work but social workers themselves find it hard to identify social work knowledge. The article discusses the assessment of social work knowledge by social workers who do not have social work education and general social worker knowledge.
