Description
INTRODUCTION Gatekeeping is an essential and ongoing mechanism in the social work education process. It serves to evaluate students' suitability to practise social work and to prevent unsuitable students from entering the profession. The gatekeeping process includes assessing students' academic performance and professional suitability at admission to the social work program, during their classwork, and in their field education. The gatekeeper role in field education has been documented as the most challenging and unpleasant responsibility in social work education (Raymond 2000). The major purpose of this article is to synthesise the importance of gatekeeping in Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) field education, recommend ways to overcome the challenges of gatekeeping in social work field education and provide some directions for future research.
