Social work education in Australia in the midst of Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) would not have been possible under our pre-pandemic accreditation standards due to assumptions about best practice in higher education that were not possible to enact during the pandemic. Rather than immediately arguing for a new set of standards, as Heads of Social Work programmes the authors of this paper promoted a principles-led approach to inform ‘the right’ way—in an ethical sense—of ensuring social work education could continue in Australia during the pandemic. This meant conceptualising the challenges of delivering social work education in a pandemic as being not only practical but also ethical in their nature. Using examples of how this approach guided the design of adaptive online teaching and field education placements at our universities, we consider the future possibilities for ethical and rules-based governance approaches to social work education. How students learn is changing and what they are learning will help them respond to the immediate and future needs arising from the pandemic. As such, rather than having their education compromised by COVID-19, social work students at the time of the pandemic and into the future may in fact benefit from the changes that have emerged during this period.

在 COVID-19 期间对社会工作者进行教育：大流行期间以原则为主导的教育体验设计方法的价值

根据我们大流行前的认证标准，在 2019 年冠状病毒病 (COVID-19) 期间，澳大利亚的社会工作教育是不可能实现的，因为在大流行期间不可能实施对高等​​教育最佳实践的假设。作为社会工作项目的负责人，本文的作者并没有立即主张一套新的标准，而是提倡一种以原则为主导的方法，以告知“正确”的方式（在道德意义上）确保社会工作教育可以在澳大利亚继续下去疫情期间。这意味着将在大流行病中提供社会工作教育的挑战概念化为不仅实用，而且本质上也是道德的。通过这种方法如何指导我们大学适应性在线教学和现场教育安置的设计的例子，我们考虑了社会工作教育的道德和基于规则的治理方法的未来可能性。学生的学习方式正在发生变化，他们正在学习的内容将帮助他们应对大流行带来的当前和未来的需求。因此，在大流行期间和未来，社会工作专业的学生实际上可能会从这一时期出现的变化中受益，而不是让他们的教育受到 COVID-19 的影响。
