Field Education in the Shadow of COVID-19: A Scoping Review in Memory of Marion Bogo

Abstract

ABSTRACT Professor Marion Bogo contributed substantial work in theorizing and conducting research to strengthen the landscape of social work field education. As a tribute, this article updates her 2022 scoping review synthesizing the literature on social work field instruction (i.e., published between 2017 and 2019). We synthesized the current empirical literature as it relates to COVID-19 and field education adjustments and innovations. Using Arksey and O’Malley’s scoping review framework, we mapped 14 articles published during the first and second waves of the COVID-19 pandemic (i.e., published between 2020 and 2021). The state and nature of the empirical literature are outlined, and promising adjustments, adaptations, and innovations for social work field instruction during and postpandemic are discussed.
