Abstract
The integration of theory and practice in field education is a necessary component of an effective social work education. However, students often find this process difficult and complex, creating the need for a structured and organized framework to ensure this integration occurs. This article presents a format for a field journal that requires the use of social work literature and incorporates connections between the literature and the students' practice experiences in the field. This method can be used by field instructors and field educators to further expand on the connections made in the journal, thus increasing opportunities for understanding and integration. Feedback obtained from graduating students to assess the effectiveness of this assignment is presented along with recommendations for use by field instructors and faculty liaisons.
