Abstract

A review of recent literature on field education revealed an extensive body of knowledge consisting of theoretical, educational, and empirical work. This paper reviews 40 studies on field education undertaken in the past five years. A number of relevant themes emerged from this review related to the context of field education, processes of field instruction, assessment of student learning and competence, training field instructors, and international practicum. Despite methodological limitations, these studies are building towards evidence-based field education practices.
