This article presents the findings of a nationwide study that surveyed 990 Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) graduates concerning incidents of sexual harassment experienced while they were in their field placement. Results from the earlier work by Fogel and Ellison (1998) indicated that field directors were aware of incidents of sexual harassment during field placement. The findings from this study suggest that incidents of sexual harassment may be underreported to school officials. In addition, respondents suggest that social work programs do not actively pursue reports or remedy for the student victim. The authors provide suggestions for strengthening program policies and procedures.

Kurikulum asas kerja sosial merupakan garis piawaian dalam pendidikan kerja sosial. Salah satu aspek yang perlu dalam kurikulum asas kerja sosial adalah aspek memahami kepelbagaian klien. Dalam konteks Malaysia, kepelbagaian kaum, etnik, budaya dan agama memerlukan pelajar program kerja sosial memahami dan menerima kepelbagaian tersebut agar mereka kompetensi dalam praktis kerja sosial. Satu kajian telah dilaksanakan untuk mengetahui pemahaman dan halangan pelajar terhadap kepelbagaian klien yang melibatkan seramai 279 pelajar tahun akhir program kerja sosial di enam buah universiti awam, Malaysia. Kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dan analisis data menggunakan program SPSS versi 23 menerusi ujian Jadual Silang untuk menilai tahap antara pemboleh ubah. Sebanyak sembilan item dikenal pasti dalam pengkajian ini iaitu memahami kepelbagaian klien berdasarkan etnik, budaya, gender, orientasi seksual, agama, keupayaan fizikal dan mental, umur dan latar belakang. Penemuan kajian menunjukkan sebilangan besar pelajar program kerja sosial mampu memahami aspek kepelbagaian klien dan tidak mempunyai halangan untuk memahaminya. Pemahaman pelajar program kerja sosial terhadap aspek kepelbagaian klien menunjukkan pelajar program kerja sosial telah memenuhi salah satu aspek kurikulum asas kerja sosial yang ditetapkan selaras dengan Dasar Pendidikan dan Piawai untuk Pendidikan Kerja Sosial di Malaysia.

In this exploratory qualitative study, researchers examined key educational experiences bachelor- level social workers identified as being most helpful in transitioning to current social work careers. Twenty students from CSWE- accredited social work programs, having worked in a social work agency for a minimum of 4 months, voluntarily participated. The researchers conducted one- on- one interviews in which social workers were asked to describe educational experiences and beliefs that supported their transition to careers in social work. The data from these interviews were coded to identify themes to aid educators in examining variables significant in the education of future social workers. These themes include learning occurring in social work courses, self- awareness, learning in the field, and learning from others.
