Abstract

Rapid changes in social services have altered the organizational context of student practicum experiences. Field experiences have become increasingly complex, requiring that students demonstrate independent practice skills earlier in practicum than was required previously. As a result students need a tool to assist them in understanding the complexities of agency-based practice. The Field System Eco-map, an extension of the traditional eco-map, was developed to help students create a schema for organizing practicum experiences. Additionally the Eco-map can be used to assist students in developing strategies for independent, constructive problem solving in the face of baffling organizational systems and practicum dilemmas.
