Can I do social work and do I want to? Students' perception of significant learning incidents during practica
journal contribution
posted on 2023-05-16, 12:07 authored by Patford, JThe first practicum is often regarded as a critical transition period in the development of a professional social worker, but little is known about the way students interpret their experience, assess their competence and/or re-evaluate their commitment to this career. The present study relies on interview data provided by fourth year social work students at the University of Tasmania. Its findings show what types of learning experience students deem to be significant and how they develop a sense of professional competence. Implications of the findings for professional bodies, training institutions, supervisors and students are discussed. © 2000, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
