Abstract [en]

The bachelor thesis was based on a qualitative study that consisted of six interviews. The purpose of the study was to investigate how newly graduated social secretary’s felt that the field practice education during the social work-program was important for the development of knowledge before working with children and young people. Two questions were formulated to answer the purpose of the study; ”How do newly graduated social secretary’s describe that they have developed knowledge during field practice in the area of ​​children and young people?” and ”what knowledge do newly graduated socialsecretarys feel that they have developed during and after their field practice with children and young people?” The study’s´ data were analyzed using a content analysis. The result was analyzed with the help of John Dewey's theoretical concepts of Learning by Doing and Intelligent action, which made it clear that teaching should be more practical based to benefit the development of knowledge. There were significant parts in the social secretaries’ experiences regarding knowledge development which, among other things, highlighted more field practice, but also repeated moments during the practice when they were supposed to be beneficial for knowledge development. The results also showed that students during the education had their own responsibility for developing knowledge, but that it was beneficial to have a committed teacher or supervisor. When the students experienced a greater sense of safety at the field practice, they described the development of knowledge increased. It also emerged that the social secretaries developed, among other things, knowledge in communication skills, about documentation and computer systems, legislation, and about selective courses. An employment at the student’s field practice after graduation was considered advantageous as a result of the experience the social worker gained through the field practice.

Abstract [sv]

Examensarbetet grundade sig i en kvalitativ studie som bestod av sex intervjuer. Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur nyutexaminerade socionomer upplever att den verksamhetsförlagda utbildningen under socionomprogrammet har haft för betydelse för utveckling av kunskap inför arbete med barn och unga. Två frågeställningar formulerades för att besvara studiens syfte; Hur beskriver nyutexaminerade socionomer att de har utvecklat kunskap under VFU inom området barn och unga?, samt vilka kunskaper upplever nyutexaminerade socionomer att de har utvecklat under och efter VFU med barn och unga? Studiens data analyserades med hjälp utav en innehållsanalys. Resultatet analyserades med hjälp av John Dewey teoretiska begrepp Learning by Doing samt Intelligent action, vilket tydliggjorde att undervisningen bör bli mer verksamhetsförankrad för att gynna kunskapsutvecklingen. Det fanns betydelsefulla delar i socialsekreterarnas upplevelser kring kunskapsutveckling som bland annat belyste mer verksamhetsförlagd utbildning, men också upprepande moment under utbildningen då de angås vara gynnande för kunskapsutvecklingen. Resultatet visade också att studenter under utbildningen upplevs ha ett eget ansvar för att utveckla kunskaper, men att det är fördelaktigt med en engagerad lärare/handledare. De nyutexaminerade socionomerna beskrev att de upplevde en större känsla av trygghet på VFU-platsen som gjorde att kunskapsutvecklingen ökade. Det framkom också att de nyutexaminerade socionomerna under den verksamhetsförlagda utbildningen bland annat utvecklade kunskaper inom sin samtalsmetodik, om data- och dokumentationssystem, lagstiftning och valbara kurser. En anställning på VFU-platsen efter examen ansågs fördelaktigt till följd av erfarenheterna socialsekreterarna fick genom VFU:n.
