Abstract
Based on the concepts of a developmental approach to adult learning, this paper explores a competency framework and learning model for social work field education. The model is offered both as a way to identify the different kinds of learning students must master in both classroom and field and to assist supervisors in that process. Gaining competency in the process of applying knowledge and skills, reflecting on that application, and making necessary changes based on the insights garnered through reflection is known as praxis, the precursor of the ability to engage in autonomous professional practice.
