Social work education in Türkiye has experienced a quantitative increase, particularly after the 2000s. This study examines the educational backgrounds of faculty members involved in social work undergraduate programs in Türkiye and their capacity to deliver theoretical and practical courses in social work through content analysis methodology. The research findings indicate that 51.3% of the faculty members teaching field courses in social work programs in Türkiye have not received any education in the field of social work. The study proposes a potential pathway for establishing administrative structures to ensure the implementation of international and national standards in social work education and the design and oversight of a standards-compliant educational process.
