Course DescriptionA first educationally directed field experience in which students will have the opportunity to engage, as beginning practitioners, in the processes of social work assessment, planning, intervention, evaluation and integration of theory from classroom to practice setting. While students in Access Programs may be required to complete additional field hours, 420 hours is the minimum required for all BSW students. This time commitment includes involvement with the agency in planning for and engaging in practice activity, preparing for and engaging in supervision with appointed Field Instructor and/or On-Site Supervisor/Agency Mentor, as well as evaluation of performance. In addition to educational contact time with the field instructor in individual sessions, some students will have an opportunity to engage in group sessions and or other training as determined by the field practicum instructor. Contact time may also include in-person or on-line/teleconference review meetings with Faculty Liaison, Field Coordinator and/or Field Instructor. The student is graded on a pass/fail basis, subject to satisfactory completion of learning objectives, curriculum requirements and field hours.

General Course InformationCourse Goals

All students in field practicum are expected to attend Field Orientation sessions, as facilitated by the Faculty, and to attend all In-Agency Orientation sessions. All students are also required to complete the following as part of their field practicum course:

Learning Contract Monthly Professional Reflective Journals Monthly Time-Sheets (and accompanying linkage with learning goals)

Additional methods and approaches taken to facilitate learning in field practicum settings will vary based on the agency/program in which the student is placed. The field instructor has the primary responsibility for determining and selecting other areas of involvement for the student,

Page 6: SWRK 3150 Field Instruction 1 - University of Manitoba · Web viewIn field practicum, students begin to incorporate academic knowledge, values and ethics of the profession in social

SWRK 3150 Field Instruction – Distance Delivery Page 5

based on the learning goals identified in the contracting phase. The learning opportunities should be based on a generalist approach to social work practice and be varied enough to allow exposure to as many aspects of practice as are available in the field setting. The Field Instructor has several tools to choose from in order to enhance student learning and to assess student performance. These methods may include the following:

Verbal reports Contracting with Field Instructor and preparing for and reviewing field progress via

regular supervision meetings Student initiates discussion with Field Instructor regarding any outstanding areas of

concern or inquiry pertaining to the field practicum and/or as documented in the weekly Professional Reflective Journal

Completion of all tasks as determined by Field Instructor. This may include tools to support assessment/intervention process (e.g., genograms, eco-maps)

Process recordings File recordings Summary recordings Case conference presentations Referrals for service and/or funding Presentation seminars and workshops Program or policy development tasks Training (e.g., ASIST, Risk Assessment) Completion of all evaluation documents (e.g., mid-term, final) Modelling/Shadowing Video Direct in-person observations One-way mirror observation Client meeting co-facilitation Group co-facilitation

Course OverviewThe purpose of field instruction is to ensure that students have appropriately sequenced social work practice experiences in community agency settings. Educationally focused instruction brings to consciousness the self-awareness and discipline required of a generalist professional practitioner. This occurs through a series of progressively more demanding practice situations. It is the component of the curriculum in which the student practices in order to learn. The field experience gives the student the knowledge and the skills to effectively practice in a variety of settings and fields. As noted, a six (6) credit hour Field Focus course (SWRK 4200) must be taken concurrent with the field placement.

Students engage in SWRK 3150 in a variety of settings and are provided with the opportunity to undertake a range of social work roles. In field practicum, students begin to incorporate academic knowledge, values and ethics of the profession in social work practice.

Students are expected to demonstrate an understanding of the agency’s structure, mandate, and objectives as well as a basic understanding of the overall service delivery system. They will begin to identify underlying verbal and non-verbal communication patterns. They will clearly demonstrate a commitment to the importance of self-awareness as a means to effective professional involvement and development.

Students will be able to facilitate identification and prioritization of clients’ needs and to respect clients’ rights, including the importance of ensuring self-determination of clients in the process. Students are expected to demonstrate their commitment to the primary consideration of the welfare of the client/participant in their work. Students will also be expected to demonstrate a commitment to ethical behavior as the core of social work practice, including an understanding of the CASW Code of Ethics.

Course Evaluation Methods and Grading

Students are expected to complete all field-related work, including demonstration of skills and abilities, as outlined in the Field Evaluation Form. All Field Instructors and Field Students are required to complete a mid-term and final evaluation document, as part of the Field Evaluation Form. This is the tool used to determine and assign grades. A final grade will be determined based on completed assignments, Field Instructor’s observation of student’s performance including attainment of student’s learning objectives (as stipulated in the Learning Contract), completion of program expectations (as determined by the Field Instructor/On-Site Supervisor), demonstration of professional suitability and meeting of curriculum requirements as outlined on the course syllabus and Field Evaluation Forms, including completion of field hour requirements. The evaluation of a student is done on a PASS/FAIL basis.

A grade of FAIL may be entered if Field Expectations are not met. Examples of this would include:

Failure to meet deadlines for Journal and Time Sheet submissions due on the last day of the month. Failure to meet the expectations of journal documentation with demonstrated; critical analysis, linking theory to practice and application of trainings indicative of growth and professional development, may raise concern and may be subject to a request for revision. If this is not consistently addressed you may be at risk of receiving a grade of FAIL for your field placement. Failure to complete and submit your Learning Contract within the expected timeline of 2 weeks after the start of field.Failure to schedule teleconferences for learning contract, midterm, and final evaluation. Failure to complete midterm evaluation at the completion of 210 hours and final evaluations at the completion of 420 hours.

When absenteeism is unavoidable, students are required to communicate their absence to the instructor prior to the class. Punctuality is also expected for all classes and web conferences. Instructors may also ‘count’ late arrivals as an ‘absence’, and may ask the student to remain out of class until an appropriate time to enter, particularly if interruptions will distract the whole class.

Students cannot miss more than 15% of class time or one web conference per course each term. The 420 hours for the field practicum are mandatory.

If students anticipate missing additional time or more than one web conference they should consult with the course instructor and the student services support staff on their campus/program location. The names of students who have been absent beyond these guidelines will be forwarded by the course instructors to the student services support staff on their campus/program location. Consultation will occur with the student, the course instructor, and student services support staff. The Associate Dean of the Undergraduate programs will be consulted as necessary. Students are required to complete all 420 hours, any hours missed during field placement must be made up on the student’s own time.
