DIFFERENCES OF TEACHERS', FIELD INSTRUCTORS', AND STUDENTS' VIEWS ON JOB ANALYSIS OF SOCIAL WORK STUDENTS

Abstract

This study compares the assessment of 30 teachers, 120 field instructors, and 287 students with regard to what students of social work do during their fieldwork practice and the importance they attach to these activities. The study used a Job Analysis Questionnaire developed specifically for this study. Results indicated differences among the three groups. Implications call for more attention and tighter follow-up of teachers on student field work and greater clarity on expected and actual performance of roles as perceived by teachers, field instructors, and students.
