近年来，与社会工作实践相关的科学文献不断增长。随之而来的发展，包括电子书目数据库的广泛使用、索引服务的改进以及对系统评价和循证实践指南的接受程度的提高，使得研究成果越来越容易被从业者所获取。在该专业的历史上，社会工作教育工作者第一次面临着与实践相关的科学信息的不断积累所带来的挑战和提供的机遇。循证实践是一种新范式，通过鼓励在专业决策中认真、明智和明确地使用现有的最佳科学证据，促进更有效的社会干预。在教学上，循证实践涉及教导学生在职业生涯中识别、批判性评价和应用与实践相关的科学证据所需的价值观和技能。本文介绍了基于证据的社会工作专业教育的潜在好处，以及华盛顿大学乔治沃伦布朗社会工作学院为实施支持基于证据的专业实践教育的课程范围变革而不断做出的努力。
The scientific literature relevant to social work practice has grown expansively in recent years. Corollary developments, including the widespread availability of electronic bibliographic databases, improved indexing services, and increased acceptance of systematic reviews and evidence-based practice guidelines, have made research findings increasingly accessible to practitioners. For the first time in the history of the profession, social work educators are confronted with the challenges posed, and opportunities afforded, by this accumulating body of practice-relevant scientific information. Evidence-based practice is a new paradigm that promotes more effective social interventions by encouraging the conscientious, judicious, and explicit use of the best available scientific evidence in professional decision making. Pedagogically, evidence-based practice involves teaching students the values and skills they need to identify, critically appraise, and apply practice-relevant scientific evidence over the course of their professional careers. This article describes the potential benefits of evidence-based social work professional education and ongoing efforts of the George Warren Brown School of Social Work at Washington University to implement curriculum-wide changes supportive of evidence based professional practice education.
