SWK 758: Social Work Research II

3 credits

This course focuses on using and evaluating the knowledge base of social work practice. It applies concepts learned in Research I to the empirical evaluation of one's own practice, the analysis and evaluation of empirical-based knowledge, and its use in social work practice. The course stresses issues related to the conduct of research in a practice profession, including the relationship between research and practice, the application of principles of critical thinking to both research and practice, and the ethical considerations crucial in research development.

Learning Goals

1. Demonstrate knowledge of principles and applications of evidence-based practice, including its importance and on-going debates2. Demonstrate the ability to select, and critically apply available social work knowledge to the problems encountered in their social work practice3. Appraise the nature of knowledge and hierarchies of evidence that are appropriate to their evidence-based questions4. Design appropriate research methodology (including single subject designs and evaluation research) to evaluate their practice5. Discuss the ethical principles, issues, and dilemmas inherent in evidence-based practice6. Demonstrate the principles of nondiscriminatory research that addresses issues of color, culture, ethnicity, national origin, race, gender, class, ability, religion, family structure, sexual orientation, and age in the development and application of evidence-based practice knowledge
