This paper explores social work students' perspectives of online fieldwork practice that emerged due to sudden disruption in field placement as a result of the outbreak of COVID-19 in India. We have recruited and interviewed 32 Master's students from five north-Indian universities to participate in the research. The study's findings highlight ill-equipped agencies lacking social work components in online/virtual field placement. Also, ethical dilemmas in working virtually, disconnectedness from the field, and superficial supervision were experienced by the students. The study result implies the urgent need to develop and innovate a pedagogical approach to deal with uncertainties and crises like the COVID-19.
本文探讨了印度因新冠疫情爆发导致实地实习突然中断而出现的社会工作专业学生对在线实地实习的看法。我们招募并采访了来自印度北部五所大学的32名硕士研究生参与这项研究。研究结果凸显了在线/虚拟实地实习中机构设备不足且缺乏社会工作组成部分的情况。此外，学生们还经历了虚拟工作中的伦理困境、与实地脱节以及表面化的督导。研究结果表明迫切需要开发和创新一种教学方法来应对诸如新冠疫情这样的不确定性和危机。
