The authors were interested in finding out whether student social workers perceive social work differently in the Republic of Slovenia and the Republic of Croatia. According to the results of this research, there are significant differences between student social workers; however, they can be found in a relatively small number of factors that describe social work as a profession.

Les auteurs cherchaient à savoir si les étudiants en travail social des républiques de Slovénie et de Croatie perçoivent le travail social différemment les uns des autres. Ces deux républiques se sont développées ensemble, en un pays, l'ex-Yougoslavie, pendant une longue période. Ces deux républiques constituaient la partie la plus développée de l'ex-Yougoslavie, mais ils ont connu des destins fort différents lors de la rupture du pays. Les résultats de la présente étude indiquent des différences significatives entre les étudiants en travail social des deux républiques. Toutefois, on retrouve ces différences dans un nombre relativement restreint de facteurs qui décrivent le travail social en tant que profession.

Se pregunta si los estudiantes de trabajo social de la República de Eslovaquia y de la República de Croacia perciben el trabajo social diferentemente. Los dos países se desarrollaron como un solo país, la antigua Yugoslavia, durante un largo tiempo. Ambos países eran los más desarrollados de Yugoslavia, pero su destino fue muy distinto después de la disolución de este país. Se hallaron diferencias significativas entre los estudiantes de ambos países, pero circunscritas a un pequeño número de factores que describen el trabajo social como una profesión.

Key Words: attitude • field of social work • perception • profession • social work
