Two Generations, A Vocation: Comparative Study Between Students Cohorts In Social Work, Faculty Of Sociology And Social Work, West University Of Timisoara

Summary/Abstract: The paper aims to identify the trends regarding the similarities and differences between students enrolled in the studies of the license in the field of social work, cohorts 2024 and 2025. The research is quantitative with a focus on objectivity and clarity. The research sample consists of 145 students enrolled in the social work specialization - frequent education, Faculty of Sociology and Social Work, West Univerisity of TImisoara. The main results show that the research hypotheses are valid because most of the students in both student cohorts are female. At the same time, most students come from small families, with 3 or 4 family members, because with the globalization and evolution of society, birth rates have decreased and numerous families are no longer so present. It is clearly seen from the analysis of the data that most of the students from both cohorts live in rent and at home, together with the parents, being more centered on personal space, privacy and at the same time the lack of places in the student dormitory is highlighted. The differences that arise between the two study cohorts are generally related to the way they look at the field of social work, knowledge in the field, but also from where they heard about social work. The practical implications of the study support that the promotion of this field should also be carried out among men to create a balance between genes, but also the promotion of the profession so that future students learn the importance of the social worker in the Romanian society.
