Abstract
This is a qualitative study which aims to know the experiences of field instruction students and their interventions extended to children in conflict with the law while they were assigned as interns in San Pedro Police Station. The study utilized a well-defined content analysis procedure, “text analysis,” which looks into the common experiences and interventions of these students in one semester of field instructio. A focus group discussion for children in conflict with the law was also conducted to know the “take on” of the clients on the interventions extended. The study also shares insights of the field instruction students in the public in general and to the academe in particular. The result of the study showed that the common experiences of the social work interns includes extensive use of their observation skills, exposure to the different behaviors, and learning how to practice social work principles like acceptance, individualization, and confidentiality. Furthermore, these experiences help them develop skills in dealing with families and communities and other sectors involved with community based programs for children in conflict with the law.
