Abstract
In what ways could students practice learning of another welfare profession, such as social work, be taken into consideration to further promote a ‘practicum turn’ in preservice teacher education? Though social work obviously is very different from teaching in respect to the day-to-day work, there are, however, at least three reasons to reflect on the practice learning of preservice teachers from the social work perspective (see for example Carlgren, 1996; Heggen, 2003). Firstly, as with preservice teacher education, social work has become gradually incorporated in the universities since the 1970s.
