description 碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 社會工作學研究所 === 102 === The focus of this inquiry is derived from my confusion and bewilderment about what is social work. First of all, it derives from my reflection on internship experiences in an urban indigenous community during the first summer of this graduate study. I have noticed that social workers always look at the needs of clients through experts’ perspectives, instead of trying to understand the context of clients’ lives and listen to their voices sincerely. Besides, I also reconsider what kind of social work is I believe in. After these reflections, I gradually find that the simple interpersonal relationship between worker and client and the "life affect life" process are two elements most attract me when doing social work practice. However, I have also notice that I still make judgment of the person who I’d accompany with by the standpoint of mine, and become a social worker who I do not want to be. Therefore, I decide using this thesis as a chance to inquiry the how and the quality of standing by the side of clients and listening to them. In looking for ways of recording and collecting data of this attends, I first used the keywords of ethnographic and practice when going through literatures. I’ve noticed some researchers used a method named photo-voice which is quite attractive to me. They give cameras to the research participants and let them voice out past experiences which they did not sound out before. These writings seem to point a way to listen to clients who I am trying to accompany with. As a result, I carried this understanding about photo-voice into my research field, an urban indigenous community, and try to implement the social work practice I believe in. This inquiry process can be divided into two levels. The first level, I implement a photographic program for youth living in this community following the guideline of photo-voice method. The second level, I reflect on myself, as a social worker and also as a researcher, during this action process through reflexive writing. In the photographic program, I invited youth live in this community as active participants, providing each a camera to shoot their daily life and then invited them to share their photos and related experiences in groups. Through their sharing, I do comprehend more of some children’s living context which I can never know from daily conversation with them. I also realize that the photo-voice is a medium for children and I to listen and dialogue with each other through the photographic program and it also provide a chance to explore how to stay together with children as a social worker, and what kind of relations should be maintained between me and children. Following the implementation of first level inquiry is the second level of inquiry, a reflexive writing process. This writing action is to explore process of becoming intersubjective between children and me. Through this reflexive writing process, I understand the subjectivity, as a social worker and also a person, is dwelling within ongoing dialectic processes, within oneself and between interpersonal. I need to be a person with subjectivity first then I can become a social worker who can be intersubjective with her clients sincerely. In addition, authentic listening and dialogue between social worker and clients can approach the richness and understanding of life for both, and construct the intersubjective being between two of them, the social worker and clients. Finally, this action inquiry not only strengthens my thought about what social work is; make everyone's difference more luminal to me; but also prompt me to appreciate the value of everyone’s life and stories. However, I’d regretfully to say that such authentic dialogue and listening are difficult to sustain in busy social work practice life nowadays. Therefore, I would say that to be together with client is not only simple but also difficult.
