Semester I

Course: MSW-104 Concurrent Field Work (Field Lab) Rationale for Field Work Theory provides the perspective and information base to understand the socio-political, economic and cultural contexts, within which human societies interact, engage and strive to create better living conditions. The classroom provides this theoretical knowledge and understanding which forms the foundation and core areas of social work. Field work ensures the development of competence in social work practice because ‘knowing’ does not automatically result in the ability to ‘do’ or to ‘feel’ which is essential for professional development. Fieldwork is the ‘learning by doing’ aspect of social work education and an integral part of the total curriculum. Fieldwork plays a pivotal role and provides the experimental basis for the student’s academic programme. It offers an environment within which students are given an opportunity to develop a coherent framework for social work practice by integrating and reinforcing the knowledge acquired in the classroom with actual practice. It also enables students to acquire and test relevant practice skills. First year field instruction, in particular, aims at developing capacities among the students which can be broadly explained as: 1. A capacity to interact and intervene with people (individuals, groups, communities and institutions) consciously and purposefully 2. An ability to analyse structural issues from the viewpoint of the poor, marginalised and vulnerable sections 3. A readiness to recognise structural and social processes that shape individual, social and institutional relations 4. An ability to identify constituencies and stakeholders for intervention with reference to specific issues 5. A capacity to examine concepts and think critically about classroom learning and field of practice i.e. praxis and reflectivity from a pro-poor stance integral to social work. Objectives for First Year Field Work: a) To develop a holistic view of social work and related interventions in the community, with special emphasis on the agency’s role in human services b) Understanding the Agency set up in socio-political context, its genesis, vision, mission, objectives, structure, programmes and outreach. c) Understanding the problems and opportunities in working with diverse populations d) Develop an understanding of the application of methods of social work practice in the field e) Develop practice skills appropriate to each phase of the change process and apply them in direct work with people and communities f) Develop the self-awareness necessary to assess one’s own values, attitudes, feelings, strengths, limitations, interests and performance g) Understanding the Community and Community dynamics Field work is going to be concurrent and students are required to put in 12hrs per week in the field. The recommended days for field work are Fridays and Saturdays. The students can be placed in nearby non-government organisations working in local communities, urban or rural. Role of student:

 

 

The student will maintain a detailed daily log which comprises of the work done in a day for 6hrs. The student will submit a detailed report to the assigned Field Supervisor for each day’s work which shares details of work done, analysis (theory and practice), reflection of learning by self and next day’s work plan. The student will meet the Field Work Supervisor once every week for Consultation and sharing. The students will be granted leave only in the case of personal emergencies for maximum two days. In case they take leave for more than two days they will need to put in extra hours of work to cover the time lost. In case this is not done field work will not be considered complete and grades will not be awarded to the student.

Role of Field Supervisor    

 

Every Faculty supervisor will have six to seven students placed with them for field supervision every year which include both first and second year students. Organization of student learning- The Field Supervisor is responsible for workload allocation to ensure that the student has sufficient number and variety of tasks to accomplish the objectives of the education plan. The Field Supervisor is accountable to the managing committee or head of agency for the work undertaken by the student. He /She also has the task of communication and interpretation of agency structure and policies with the students. Individual Conference and Evaluation-The Field Supervisor facilitates self-directed learning by the student. A basic method in field instruction is the Individual Conference. Fieldwork supervisors need to provide dedicated time to the student each week. Another educational responsibility is the assessment of the student’s performance, in terms of his/her progress in the field of learning social work perspectives and skills. With the emphasis on participatory learning and consistent interaction between the Field Supervisor and the student. Field Supervisor in the first semester must engage with the student in the field to demonstrate and support the student regarding social work practice. Before placing students the Social Work Faculty should be visiting the organisations verify the capacity and willingness of the organisation to anchor students.

Semester II Course: MSW-205 Concurrent Field Work

Rationale for Field Work Theory provides the perspective and information base to understand the socio-political, economic and cultural contexts, within which human societies interact, engage and strive to create better living conditions. The classroom provides this theoretical knowledge and understanding which forms the foundation and core areas of social work. Field work ensures the development of competence in social work practice because ‘knowing’ does not automatically result in the ability to ‘do’ or to ‘feel’ which is essential for professional development. Fieldwork is the ‘learning by doing’ aspect of social work education and an integral part of the total curriculum. Fieldwork plays a pivotal role and provides the experimental basis for the student’s academic programme. It offers an environment within which students are given an opportunity to develop a coherent framework for social work practice by integrating and reinforcing the knowledge acquired in the classroom with actual practice. It also enables students to acquire and test relevant practice skills. First year field instruction, in particular, aims at developing capacities among the students which can be broadly explained as: 1. A capacity to interact and intervene with people (individuals, groups, communities and institutions) consciously and purposefully 2. An ability to analyse structural issues from the viewpoint of the poor, marginalised and vulnerable sections 3. A readiness to recognise structural and social processes that shape individual, social and institutional relations 4. An ability to identify constituencies and stakeholders for intervention with reference to specific issues 5. A capacity to examine concepts and think critically about classroom learning and field of practice i.e. praxis and reflectivity from a pro-poor stance integral to social work. Objectives for First Year Field Work: a) To develop a holistic view of social work and related interventions in the community, with special emphasis on the agency’s role in human services b) Understanding the Agency set up in socio-political context, its genesis, vision, mission, objectives, structure, programmes and outreach. c) Understanding the problems and opportunities in working with diverse populations d) Develop an understanding of the application of methods of social work practice in the field e) Develop practice skills appropriate to each phase of the change process and apply them in direct work with people and communities f) Develop the self-awareness necessary to assess one’s own values, attitudes, feelings, strengths, limitations, interests and performance g) Understanding the Community and Community dynamics Field work is going to be concurrent and students are required to put in 12hrs per week in the field. The recommended days for field work are Fridays and Saturdays. The students can be placed in nearby non-government organisations working in local communities, urban or rural. Role of student:

 

 

The student will maintain a detailed daily log which comprises of the work done in a day for 6hrs. The student will submit a detailed report to the assigned Field Supervisor for each day’s work which shares details of work done, analysis (theory and practice), reflection of learning by self and next day’s work plan. The student will meet the Field Work Supervisor once every week for Consultation and sharing. The students will be granted leave only in the case of personal emergencies for maximum two days. In case they take leave for more than two days they will need to put in extra hours of work to cover the time lost. In case this is not done field work will not be considered complete and grades will not be awarded to the student.

Role of Field Supervisor    

 

Every Faculty supervisor will have six to seven students placed with them for field supervision every year which include both first and second year students. Organization of student learning- The Field Supervisor is responsible for workload allocation to ensure that the student has sufficient number and variety of tasks to accomplish the objectives of the education plan. The Field Supervisor is accountable to the managing committee or head of agency for the work undertaken by the student. He /She also has the task of communication and interpretation of agency structure and policies with the students. Individual Conference and Evaluation-The Field Supervisor facilitates self-directed learning by the student. A basic method in field instruction is the Individual Conference. Fieldwork supervisors need to provide dedicated time to the student each week. Another educational responsibility is the assessment of the student’s performance, in terms of his/her progress in the field of learning social work perspectives and skills. With the emphasis on participatory learning and consistent interaction between the Field Supervisor and the student. Field Supervisor in the first semester must engage with the student in the field to demonstrate and support the student regarding social work practice. Before placing students the Social Work Faculty should be visiting the organisations verify the capacity and willingness of the organisation to anchor students.

(c) To understand governance structures, role and functions in village administration. (d) To understand the outreach of various states led programmes like ICDS, MGNREGA, NRHM, SSA and others. (e) To engage the self and develop sensitivity and basic understanding of issues in rural India. The rural practicum is a part of the 2credit course in the Second semester. It comprises of theory inputs on rural life, rurality, rural governance structures and childhoods. The theory inputs are followed by a Ten (10) days practicum in a rural locality usually through an organization working in that area. The students are facilitated to organise all logistics and work as a team. The rural practicum enables the students to understand the vulnerabilities and marginalisation that emerge due to loss of livelihoods, migration, displacement in rural areas, as well as contextualise childhoods within the axis of social stratifiers of caste, gender, tribe, ethnicity and disability.
