„NOTHING IS SO THEORETICAL AS AN ASTONISHINGLY GOOD PRACTICE! “
Keywords:
competence, study program, internship, work placement, vocational training, tutoringAbstract
The present text was developed within the framework of the
evaluation of a practice-oriented study program Social Work. The
corresponding Bachelor program at the Baden-Württemberg
Cooperative State University, combines studying at the university
with a work placement at a social institution. The article deals
essentially with three questions: (1) What is the role of practical
experience for academic learning? (2) How practical training
enables and promotes theory building? (3) What are the
consequences for the professional support of the students in their
work placements? Starting from very fundamental considerations
about the theory-practice relationship this article attempts to
develop “rules of thumb†for a successful practice guidance.
