This paper aims to evaluate student learning in social welfare practicums usinga qualitative research method. The principle data was gathered from practicum diarieskept by students who had complete their required social welfare practicum in order tobecome licensed social workers in their third year, during their 10-12 day advancedpracticum at clinics in their senior year. In this paper, the category of "understandingsupport structures," which was dealt with in my preceding paper, is primarily evaluated.In addition, the subcategories of "clarifying professional roles," "change in values,"and the level of interaction between the students and their instructors at theirrespective clinics was also analyzed.The results demonstrated that students were found to acquire a betterunderstanding of the professionalism of social work by participating in certainprograms distinctive to the clinics. These programs included especially those for clientsupport, such as meeting with other professionals within oneʼs own clinic or workingin cooperation with outsiders. The students could understand both the situation inwhich a client in question was placed and the background of the clientʼs problems.At the same time, the students became aware of their own values. Gradually theybecame able to respect the wishes and thoughts of both the clients and their families.
