Rationale for Field Work

Theory provides the perspective and information base to understand the socio-political, economic and

cultural contexts, within which human societies interact, engage and strive to create better living

conditions. The classroom provides this theoretical knowledge and understanding which forms the

foundation and core areas of social work. Field work ensures the development of competence in social

work practice because ‘knowing’ does not automatically result in the ability to ‘do’ or to ‘feel’ which is

essential for professional development.

Fieldwork is the ‘learning by doing’ aspect of social work education and an integral part of the total

curriculum. Fieldwork plays a pivotal role and provides the experimental basis for the student’s

academic programme. It offers an environment within which students are given an opportunity to

develop a coherent framework for social work practice by integrating and reinforcing the knowledge

acquired in the classroom with actual practice. It also enables students to acquire and test relevant

practice skills.

First year field instruction, in particular, aims at developing capacities among the students which can be

broadly explained as:

A capacity to interact and intervene with people (individuals, groups, communities and

institutions) consciously and purposefully

An ability to analyse structural issues from the viewpoint of the poor, marginalised and

vulnerable sections

A readiness to recognise structural and social processes that shape individual, social and

institutional relations

An ability to identify constituencies and stakeholders for intervention with reference to specific

issues

A capacity to examine concepts and think critically about classroom learning and field of

practice i.e. praxis and reflectivity from a pro-poor stance integral to social work.

General Objectives for Concurrent Field Work:

Develop an understanding of the application of methods of social work practice in the field.

To develop a holistic view of social work and related interventions in the community, with special

emphasis on the agency’s role in human services

To help students understand the socio-economic. Cultural and political milieu and develop capacity for

critical examination of positive and maintenance factors of social problems and their consequences.

Understanding the problems and opportunities in working with diverse populations.

Develop practice skills appropriate to each phase of the change process and apply them in direct work

with people and communities

Develop the self-awareness necessary to assess one’s own values, attitudes, feelings,

strengths, limitations, interests and performance

Understanding the Community and Community dynamics.

To enable students to develop core skills of Social Work practice.

To help students identify, plan and implement social work instruments and to assess their

impact on different client system in various agency settings.

To help students appreciate the role of social work profession in empowering individuals,

groups and communities and in facilitating social change.

To help students to develop skills and appropriate personality required for professional

social work practice.

To provide opportunities to accept challenges and respond to then.

Field work is going to be concurrent and students are required to put in 15hrs per week in the

field. The recommended days for field work are Tuesday and Thursday. The students can be

placed in nearby open community setting/ non-government organisations working in local

communities, urban/rural /tribal/Govt agency.

REQUISITS FOR COCURRENT FIELD WORK:

Every student has to attend minimum 20-25 concurrent fieldwork days in each Semester.100 percent

attendance is compulsory in fieldwork. However 4 fieldwork days’ compensation is allowed in very

genuine cases with prior permission of Head/Field work co-coordinator on the recommendation of

concerned fieldwork supervisor. The genuineness of case is subject to the verification.

Field Work duration will be minimum of six hours usually from 10.00 a.m. to 4.00 p.m. Any change

will be allowed with prior permission.

Students will have to submit his/her weekly fieldwork report on every Monday at 11.00 a.m...

It will be the responsibility of the student to keep his/her movement & attendance record specific and at

a proper and easily approachable place, so that the supervisor under visit can locate them easily.

Otherwise, it will be adverse observation against the student.

The students who will be found late in the fieldwork will be treated as absent on that vary day.

It is requisite condition on the part of the student to attend his/her weekly Individual and Group

Conference regularly with their respective supervisors. 100 percent attendance is compulsory in IC and

GC.

Every student will have to maintain supervisory Chart along with his/her concurrent fieldwork, IC, GC

etc. Initials of the fieldwork supervisor are to be maintained.

Supervisors are requested to appraise the Head/ fieldwork coordinator weekly about the irregularities of

students in the classes, fieldwork, IC, GC and submission of reports.

Every student will be evaluated in fieldwork viva-voce on the basis of their knowledge and

understanding of the fieldwork, their regularity, punctuality and sincerity in the fieldwork.

Role of Field Supervisor

Every Faculty supervisor will have six to seven students placed with them for field supervision

every year which include both first and second year students.

The Field Supervisor is responsible for workload allocation to ensure that the student has

sufficient number and variety of tasks to accomplish the objectives of the education plan.

The Field Supervisor is accountable to the managing committee or head of agency for the work

undertaken by the student. He /She also has the task of communication and interpretation of

agency structure and policies with the students.

The Field Supervisor facilitates self-directed learning by the student. A basic method in field

instruction is the Individual Conference. Fieldwork supervisors need to provide dedicated time

to the student each week.

Another educational responsibility is the assessment of the student’s performance, in terms of

his/her progress in the field of learning social work perspectives and skills. With the emphasis

on participatory learning and consistent interaction between the Field Supervisor and the

student.

Field Supervisor in the first semester must engage with the student in the field to demonstrate

and support the student regarding social work practice.

Before placing students the Social Work Faculty should be visiting the organisations verify the

capacity and willingness of the organisation to anchor students.
