Abstract
This study replicates and builds on an earlier study (Cavazos, 1996), which found that baccalaureate students' knowledge of the social work foundation did not deepen as a result of field education. Seventy field interns were tested during the first and last week of the block field internship. Two baccalaureate programs with significant differences related to the interns' ethnicity, duration of the internship, and the use of foundation-related field assignments were selected for comparison. Interns took the Area Concentration Achievement Test in Social Work (ACAT), which tests knowledge of the social work foundation. No pretest, posttest ACAT performance differences were found for either program, further challenging the assumption that social work knowledge deepens as a result of field education. Implications are discussed and recommendations are offered for continued research.
