Read the passage given below and answer the following questions as per the understanding of the passage : (Que. Nos. 46 to 50)

Field work in social work education refers to training and education. The training is repetitive and skill-oriented and education is imparted with broad perspectives. It is a dynamic process of observing, amassing and implementing creative and innovative ideas. Field work is considered to be learning through doing. Field work programme provides an opportunity to students to apply their theoretical knowledge taught in the classroom appropriately in different practical situations. It is a way to transform knowledge through certain skills and techniques into action.

In social work education, the extension and well planned field work programme is inevitable. It is evident that field work varies in quality and quantity in various institutions. It is imparted under supervision and guidance of trained and experience person(s) in social work. It can be said that theory without practice is empty and practice without theory is meaningless.

The field work programme of schools of social work education is the most important and integral part of social work education. Although field work is the most important element in social work education but some schools of social work have failed to develop field work programmes well. While classroom teaching has developed well, we have unconsciously created a greater gap between theory and field work instruction, by failing to develop the latter also to a corresponding level.

Agency based field work utterly lacks in “holistic, development, critical and reflective perspective”. Community based field work with commitment and proper perspective has to be promoted by Department/Schools of social work in India. Partnership between voluntary organizations and Departments/Schools of social work in India has been thoroughly inadequate. Well co-ordinated team work with inter-departmental cooperation based on integrated approach has also been miserably lacking in field work.

46. In some schools of social work, the field work programme is not developed well because

(A) These schools have failed to develop field work to a corresponding level of theory.

(B) More emphasis is put on classroom teaching.

(C) Failure to design good field work activities.

(D) Lack of Inter-departmental co-operation.

Ans: (A)

47. Field work is inevitable in social work because 

(A) It provides opportunity to students to apply their theoretical knowledge in real-life situation.

(B) It is dynamic process of amassing innovative ideas.

(C) It imparts supervision and guidance of trained persons.

(D) Theory without practice is empty and meaningless.

Ans: (A)

48. Community based field work needs to be promoted by social work schools by

(A) increasing partnership between voluntary organizations, departments and team work.

(B) adopting a holistic, developmental and critical perspective.

(C) increasing synchronization between classroom teaching and real life situations.

(D) developing good field work programmes.

Ans: (B)

49. In the field work programme in social work, the emphasis is on

(A) skill orientation in practical situations

(B) bridging gap between theory and practice

(C) developing a commitment and proper perspective among social work students

(D) developing partnership between voluntary organizations and schools of social work.

Ans: (A)

50. Field work in social work is 

(A) a dynamic process of observing, amassing and implementing innovative ideas.

(B) a platform for increasing commitment and dedication among students.

(C) a way of making theory work in practice situations.

(D) an attempt to impart guidance and supervision to students
