Description
INTRODUCTION A search of the literature on practicum education bears testimony to the dedication, creativity and resourcefulness that many social work practitioners have brought to their work with students on placement. Field educators in Australia and New Zealand have traditionally been unpaid and unrecognised in their workplace for the contribution they make to social work education (Slocombe 1993). However, we have been warned, that for far too long field education has been overly reliant on personal and professional motivation, commitment and goodwill (Globerman and Bogo 2002, 13). Longstanding debates in the literature have centred on how educators might effectively integrate theory with practice (Barbour 1984; Marsh and Triseliotis 1996); what factors constitute effective practice teaching (Fortune and Abramson 1993; Fernandez 1998); and just how social work as a discipline might be defined (Etizioni 1969; Crouch 1979; Gibelman 1999).
