Abstract

This study examines the degree of congruence between the aims and missions emphasized in the classroom and those conveyed to the students in their fieldwork in the three years of an undergraduate program in Social Work at the Bob Shapell School of Social Work in Israel. Analysis of the responses of 28 classroom instructors and 142 field supervisors on a 40-item questionnaire revealed a synergetic and complementary pattern of classroom and field instruction, reflecting the School’s investment of time, energy, and thought in coordinating the two. Some problems of coordination were found, however, and recommendations were made to rectify them.
