Abstract
A number of factors influence the construction of a Field Instruction Curriculum. This article identifies several of them and examines issues that schools should consider when building a curriculum. Among these factors are: the influence of the profession, university or college, region and students; a conception of the teaching/learning process; and examination of three distinct approaches to field instruction commonly found in social work education. This article discusses these three instructional approaches (that is, the apprenticeship, academic, and articulated approaches) in terms of their cost to the school, the field placement agency, and their impact on educational outcomes.
