Abstract
This article explores the use of self-efficacy theory coupled with the strengths perspective as a framework for field education in social work. In this conceptual framework, social work field education focuses on a strengths perspective, utilizing techniques to enhance students' self-efficacy beliefs. A review of the literature is provided on (1) self-efficacy as it relates to academic and career outcomes and (2) the strengths perspective in social work practice. Suggestions regarding the application of the principles of strengths-based social work practice to field education are discussed. Specific examples from a BSW program demonstrating the link between self-efficacy theory and the strengths perspective are examined.
