A worldwide view of field education structures and curricula

In: International social work, Band 42, Heft 4, S. 471-483

Abstract

This worldwide study of field instruction provides comparative data about curriculum, field instructors, school-field partnerships and student assignments. While field education is nearly universal for entry-level education, there are notable structural and curricular differences amongst countries. Nearly all respondents identify the major educational challenge as helping students to integrate theory and practice.
