SOWK 448 — Concurrent Fieldwork (One Semester)
Social Work · University of Ghana
The fieldwork provides students with the opportunity to practice their skills by working with therapeutic groups. Concurrent fieldwork begins with the commencement of the first semester of Level 400 and ends with the inter-semester break. The placement is for a period of 13 weeks. Students are expected to be in the field for two days in a week and a minimum of 4 hours each day. Throughout the semester, students are required to be in the field concurrently with lectures. Unlike the long vacation fieldwork, which exposes students to methods of working with individuals and communities, the concurrent fieldwork exposes students to working with therapeutic groups. Students are expected to attend group meetings, observe, discuss, interview members and assist them to achieve their desired objectives or goals.
