A Comparison of Advanced Standing and Regular Master’s Students’ Performance in the Second-Year Field Practicum

Field Instructors’ Assessments

Pages 309-317 | Accepted 01 Mar 1993, Published online: 05 Feb 2014
 

Abstract

The author surveyed field instructors of second-year graduate students to ascertain the instructors’ assessments of their students’ preparedness for and skill in social work practice. The variable of interest was traditional second-year or advanced placement status. Results indicate that, with few exceptions, there were no differences in field instructors’ evaluations based on status; those that existed favored advanced placement students. The implications of the findings for the continuing debates over advanced placement and an articulated continuum regarding the bachelor’s versus master’s social work degree are discussed.
