A random sample of 93 students of social work in Israel were queried regarding their perception of the professional standing of work with older people. The general ranking given by trainees to this field of practice was moderate to low. Relatively positive evaluation of the status of gerontological practice, however, was found to be explained by: (1) a traditional view of the role of the elder in society; (2) the perception that peers attribute prestige to such work; and (3) having had a field practicum in the area of ageing; and was inversely related to understanding of work with elderly persons as mainly indirect intervention. The implications of these findings for the promotion of social work practice with elderly people in an ageing society are discussed.
