About this title

Synopsis

This book is designed to facilitate the integration of social work theory and practice for social work students learning how to conduct field work. This workbook provides a structure for formulating learning goals, identifying learning activities, clarifying agency and school expectations, and preparing a learning agreement for the practicum. It guides the reader through an examination of the many areas of practicum-related learning, including social policy, the agency and community contexts of practice, legal and ethical considerations, cultural diversity, theoretical frameworks, and the evaluation of practice. As students read the background information sections and complete the workbook activities in each chapter, they record important information about their practicum setting, analyze their experience, and gain new insights. As a result of completing the workbook activities, students are able to describe and discuss their experiences and observations in a more systematic and thoughtful manner. Social work students.
