Abstract


Undoubtedly, field work practicum in social work education is the signature pedagogy which signifies the vital methodology of teachinglearning to prepare its students as professional practitioners. In fact, this field work is an integral part of social work education. The students need to continue their field work practice-learning through their initiatives, even during the COVID-19 pandemic; hence, it is time to experiment field work practice-learning exposure in new settings. This paper presents a blueprint of field work practice-learning during the COVID-19 pandemic, based on the author’s own actual teaching-learning instruction-based experimentations and innovations for more than one-and-a-half years. The paper also talks about various tasks to be performed by the students physically or virtually or in a blended mode. Besides, the paper explores the role of the faculty supervisor in the present situation.
