title: Pilot study of a revised field work performance report rating procedure.
abstract: Expressed dissatisfaction with the rating aspect of the Field Work Performance Report (FWPR) led to a study of the following proposed revisions: the present FWPR scale was extended by one point (from 4 to 5), the possible points were redefined quantitatively, and a qualitative factor was added. Both the present form and the revised form of the FWPR were administered to field work students from two schools to determine if these revisions would result in more effective and meaningful distributions of item scores and total scores. To make this determination, statistical analyses were employed and comments from participating clinical supervisors were invited. Findings indicated that the revised form dispersed scores more effectively and meaningfully. However, the analyses also pointed to the need for further revisions.
