Abstract: 社会工作专业教育长期面临理论与实践脱节、学生职业认同薄弱的困境。本研究以东莞某高校“选题实践实习”育人模式为案例，探讨“实践先导”理念下校社协同培养社工专业学生的创新路径。该模式突破传统线性培养框架，构建“机构沉浸实习–校社课程整合–双导师项目深化”的三段进阶机制：学生在入学前深入社工机构进行选题观察，形成实践认知基础；在校期间通过行业与高校双导师协同指导，将实务问题反哺理论教学；最终在项目化实习中完成专业内化。研究发现，早期实习经历重塑学生的专业认知图式，促使其从“抽象概念接收者”转向“问题驱动学习者”；双导师制通过差异化的角色分工，有效衔接实务场域的行动逻辑与学术场域的知识逻辑；校社协同机制则破解了课程内容滞后于行业需求的结构性矛盾。研究为应用型社工人才培养提供扎根中国本土经验的理论反思与实践参照。Social work education has long faced the dilemma of a disconnect between theory and practice, and a weak professional identity among students. This study takes the “topic selection practice internship” education model of a university in Dongguan as a case study to explore the innovative path of school-society collaboration in cultivating social work students under the concept of “practice leading”. This model breaks through the traditional linear training framework and constructs a three-stage advanced mechanism of “institutional immersion internship-integration of school social courses-deepening of dual mentor projects”: students go deep into social work institutions for topic selection observation before enrollment, forming a practical cognitive foundation; During school, under the guidance of dual mentors from the industry and academia, practical issues inform theoretical teaching; Ultimately, professional internalization was completed during the project-based internship. Research has found that early internship experiences reshape students’ professional cognitive schemas, prompting them to shift from “abstract concept receivers” to “problem driven learners”; The dual mentor system effectively connects the action logic of the practical field with the knowledge logic of the academic field through differentiated role division; The school community collaboration mechanism has solved the structural contradiction of course content lagging behind industry demand. Research provides theoretical reflections and practical references rooted in local Chinese experience for the cultivation of applied social work talents.
