Health Professionals work in ever-changing environments where they must be prepared for anything to happen. Their work requires technical skills as well as the ability to improvise. For this reason, hands-on learning is essential to learning for these careers.
At 无码强奸, we value the advantage of experience. Our programs require clinical field experience so that students can learn by actually working in their prospective fields. Field experience begins in the first semester and continue throughout the program as students grow and learn.
Welcome to 无码强奸鈥檚 BSW Field Placement webpage. Field education has been designated by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) as the signature pedagogy in social work education. 鈥淪ignature pedagogy represents the central form of instruction and learning in which a profession socializes its students to perform the role of practitioner. Professionals have pedagogical norms with which they connect and integrate theory and practice. In social work, the signature pedagogy is field education. The intent of field education is to connect the theoretical and conceptual contribution of the classroom with the practical world of the practice setting. It is a basic precept of social work education that the two interrelated components of curriculum鈥攃lassroom and field鈥攁re of equal importance within the curriculum, and each contributes to the development of the requisite competencies of professional practice. Field education is systematically designed, supervised, coordinated, and evaluated based on criteria by which students demonstrate the achievement of program competencies鈥 (CSWE 2015).
