Abstract: This study aimed to determine the level of competencies of students in the primary methods of social work as taught in the classroom and in actual practice. This research is a descriptive-evaluative study using a quantitative approach, employing survey questionnaires, to gather data and analyzed using descriptive statistics. The respondents of this study were the 9 agency supervisors and 11 faculty supervisors supervising the 285 social work students placed in social welfare agencies for SY 2017-2018. Findings revealed that students’ level of competency in the social work helping process using the primary methods of casework, group work, and community organization is in the apprentice level. These findings purport that social work students demonstrate adequate competence, knowledge, skills, good attitudes, and working habits and can work with less supervision while placed in social welfare agencies.
