Congruency between field instructor perception of student practice skills and the student self evaluations were also examined. The results of this study identified orientation to learn, more specifically, student enrollment status and rank, as being correlated with self perceived practice skills. It was found that there was a significant difference between ASAP and second year MSW, as well as with full-time and part-time students in how they rated their competencies in field. It was also discovered that on average field instructors rated their student’s skills higher than the student scored themselves. Knowing what makes up a successful field placement, will not only help social work schools and colleges improve their field education program and overall curriculum, but will also help to better service the students, clients, community and ultimately, the social work profession. 2009-09-08 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1243955704 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1243955704 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
