Social work field education in Canada is in crisis. New
understanding and approaches are urgently needed. Innovative and
sustainable models need to be explored and adopted. As
professionals, social workers are expected to use research to
inform their practice and to contribute to the production of
research. Yet many social workers are reluctant to integrate
research into their practice and into field education.Transforming
Social Work Field Education encourages the adoption of research and
scholarship into the practice of social work, especially field
education. It offers current theoretical concepts and perspectives
that shape social work field education and provides case studies of
practice research grounded in the experiences of diverse
communities and countries. Highlighting cutting-edge research and
scholarship, each chapter addresses critical issues in social work
practice and their implications for field education. Bringing
together scholars at various stages of their careers, this book
fosters a meaningful dialogue on the dynamic, complex, and
multi-faceted nature of social work practice, research, and
innovation in the critical area of field education. A vivid and
original work, it stimulates interest and discussion on the
integration of research and scholarship in social work field
education in Canada and around the world. With contributions by:
