Abstract
Fieldwork has always been part of social work training and is an integral component of social work education. As the social work curriculum is based on the both theory and practice, the provision of sound theory is critical, as is fieldwork experience. In both classroom and field settings, the process of learning is critical for students to help them acquire, practice, and improve the values, skills, and knowledge needed for the profession. Learning enables students to become competent and ethical professional social workers, and as such, it can be seen as a developmental process that normally begins from the early stages of students’ entrance into their educational programmes and continues throughout their field placement with social work agencies. Learning is achieved by working alongside experienced and knowledgeable social workers in a wide variety of social service settings. The present paper aims to reflect and highlights on perceptions of students towards Fieldwork training in Social Work education.
