Fifteen Northwestern Oklahoma State University senior social work majors started their spring semester entering practicum agencies in Northwest Oklahoma to complete 420 contact hours, demonstrate 31 practice behaviors and master the program’s nine core competencies as outlined by the Council on Social Work Education.

“The signature pedagogy of the social work program is the field experience component,” said Jennifer Pribble, assistant professor of social work and director of social work field education. “By allowing students to immerse themselves into field practicums they are able to develop the skills to become a generalist social worker upon graduation.”

Each student in their field practicum is assigned to a field instructor, someone with specific credentials in the agency, to reinforce social work ideas, practice behaviors and competencies.

“The Field Instructors are crucial to the educational development of these social work students,” Pribble said. “Without them volunteering their time to contribute to the education of social work students, field practicums would not be possible.”
