%X The planning and implementation of services offered to children in foster care is amongst the duties and efforts of child welfare. The phrase ¡°children in foster care¡± refers to children whose care and protection responsibilities are undertaken by government for reasons such as decease of parents, or parents¡¯ weak economic power that cannot afford basic needs of the child, or neglect and/or abuse. One of the most important responsibilities of social workers, who work in child welfare, and one of the main fields of social work, is the protection of the rights and well-being of foster children. Another issue that is as important as the services provided for foster children and which social workers need to strive for is the fight against discriminatory stereotypes and discourses in the society. In order for this struggle to take place, social workers need to develop awareness during their undergraduate education on the common prejudices they may face about foster children. In order to be able to achieve this, a session of Field Experience in Social Work Settings, a compulsory course in Hacettepe University Social Work Department undergraduate program, has been devoted to foster children. Within the course, after informing students about foster children and social services provided for them, qualitative research data were collected from students through reflective diaries. In the results of the research that will be shared in this study, there are evaluations of students about discriminatory judgments in the society regarding foster children, as considered under the themes of compassion, affection and blame as different aspects of social exclusion
