Student suitability for social work field education

Social work field education is a path of evaluating student suitability for the social work profession. This evaluation relies heavily on the field educator’s practice framework and interpretation of the professional standards of social work. The variable nature of this framework to guide evaluation can be problematic in providing guidance to field educators and students when problems emerge relating to the student’s conduct. This research explored an approach for discussing suitability and un-suitability based on the authors’ work with field educators and students.

The first set of data contains the responses of field educators to a model of unsuitability and suitability. The second set of data contains student feedback about the model.
