Abstract
The purpose of this study was to clarify the role of school social worker in dealing with school refusers (truant students). The results of the analysis showed firstly that the role of social workers is that of “broker”, “enabler”, “advocater”, “organizer”, and “promoter”. Secondly, the social worker, by evaluating societal resources and their appropriateness, plays the role of building a comprehensive network of cooperation from the micro level to the macro level. Thirdly, in carrying out these roles in the school, it is very important for the social worker to assess the case through making good use of the ecological map.
