Field Education II

Undergraduate

237 Winter 2027 Undergraduate Calendar The Field Education II course (SWRK-4750) examines student progress in the field practice component of the Bachelor of Social Work program with the purpose of evaluating student readiness for professional social work practice. This course takes place in the approved field education agency in which the student successfully completed Field Education I (SWRK-4730). Under the continuing supervision of professional social workers, students are expected to develop competencies that go beyond the generic base acquired during Field Education I (SWRK-4730). Students are expected to build upon the knowledge, values and skills acquired in Field Education I to move along the continuum from beginning level social work knowledge to an increasingly complex level of skill development in generalist social work practice. The objectives and competencies outlined in the Field Education II Learning Agreement are minimum expectations for all students. Students will apply professional skills and techniques as well as analytical competence to work with direct and indirect systems in an agency/community setting to develop an understanding of the relationships between human behaviour and societal processes. Students will demonstrate self-awareness and self-discipline sufficient to enable students to apply their knowledge, values, and skills when working with client systems. Supported by Field Learning Specialists, this course will result in the development of critical thinking skills and an inquiring interest in professional issues and knowledge, along with a commitment to the ethical principles of Social Work and the development of a professional identity. This course operates as a practicum four days a week in the Winter semester.
