The USU FISIP Social Welfare Study Program carried out field work practices twice, where the first practice was focused on the micro scope and the second practice was focused on the mezzo and macro scope.

The second field work practice was carried out at the Raphael Orphanage. The activities carried out during field work practice 2 focused on increasing interest in reading and counting for elementary school children who were orphans at the Raphael Orphanage. Students are given the freedom to plan programs that can help solve orphanage children's problems related to existing learning. Thus, having practical field work allows students to be able to apply their skills and knowledge in helping students in educational units.
