Abstract
ABSTRACT Field education is the most challenging aspect of social work education and there are unprecedented challenges currently measuring good practice with quality outcomes. Thus, it’s important to have competency-based key performance indicators (KPIs) to assess social work professional practice. This study is a national, mixed-methods Delphi research study with three rounds. Round 1 required participants (N=46) to provide open-text qualitative responses on how to assess students’ competency on placement, meeting core social work values and ethics. In round 2, participants’ responses (N=59) were analyzed in relation to AASW Practice Standards. The final round, consensus was obtained from participants (N=71) with 31 KPIs receiving participant agreement. Establishing national agreed-on KPIs is an essential step in maintaining consistency across diverse placement sites.
