Course Code: Credit Units: 06

GUIDELINES FOR FIELD WORK FILE, FIELD WORK REPORT AND FIELD WORK EVALUATION Social work is one of the youngest professions of the era recognized by various institutions and agencies. There are certain aspects of the profession that have to be experienced directly to understand the concepts and its implications in an accurate manner. Therefore field work becomes an integral component of the social work course. It gives an opportunity to experience the realities of the society, its problems and the various interventions in consonance with the issues. It also helps in bridging the gap between the theoretical aspects and the surface realities. It is also a platform to practice the social work ethics, principals, skills and techniques which in turn help in developing better equipped professionals. The opportunity to use their own creativity is very high and they develop skills of decision making, working in teams and within deadlines, critical thinking, optimum utilization and management of resources along with networking and documentation skills. New concepts of participation and community based organizations are also exposed to them in real terms which are not feasible as a component of classroom teaching. There are certain objectives defined for field work as well as there is a structural guideline. OBJECTIVES OF FIELD WORK 1. To learn and understand about the problems, needs and issues of the different target groups. 2. Exposure and development of understanding of the welfare programs and functioning of the organizations. 3. To develop an understanding of the social realities. 4.
