Field Education for Social Welfare Administration: Integration of Social Policy and Administration
Abstract
Empirical data are provided in support of a conceptual framework for
field education in social welfare administration, based on the
integration of social policy & administration. The evidence
supports the assumption that field education concerned with the goals
of social programs is more effective than that focused solely on
administrative means. Findings of several studies, particularly an
ongoing program evaluating student performance & attitudes at
Rutgers U Graduate School of Social Work, question the value of
service delivery experience as a basis for education in social welfare
administration. Field placements on the top & middle
organizational levels were found to provide students with a goal
focus. The implication of these findings for social work education are
discussed. 6 Tables, 1 Figure. Modified HA.
