About The Book
Fieldwork Practicum in Social Work Education is a definitive guide for students and practitioners engaged in social work education, particularly in the fieldwork practicum. This volume covers essential theories and models, offering a comprehensive approach to the development and practice of social work fieldwork. It addresses various functional issues that arise in field practicum, provides clear guidelines for students and supervisors, and discusses evaluation criteria, with a particular focus on the unique concerns faced by South Asian field practitioners.

The book explores both traditional and non-traditional components of fieldwork training, such as the value of educational camps and skill development workshops. It also delves into contemporary field-level needs and strategies in social work practicum, offering alternative practice theories designed to respond to the critical social problems specific to India and South Asia. The volume provides a range of frameworks for teaching and learning that integrate theory with practice, creating an environment where students can develop and apply intervention strategies based on their knowledge and skills.

This book is indispensable for undergraduate and post-graduate students of social work, as well as scholars in sociology, anthropology, and development studies. It will also be a useful resource for practitioners working with non-governmental and international organizations involved in social work and field-based initiatives.
