About Research Methods in Social Work

Research Methods in Social Work attempts to make direct applications to social work practice, to prepare you to think in terms of evidence-based practice, and most importantly, to show you recent and relevant studies that you can read on your own to further your knowledge about research methodology.

Course Objectives

Introduce the process of research as a sequence of rationally and systematically organized events and develop students’ application skills.
Demonstrate how social work "issues" and problems become research questions.
Develop students’ knowledge of research terminology and techniques necessary to understand, conduct, and summarize implications of quantitative and qualitative research and program evaluation.
Teach students how to critique research and to use research in social work practice.
Identify significant variables (gender, ethnic group, age, sexual orientation, religious preference, political affiliation) that may affect research findings.
Emphasize the importance of ethical considerations (protection of human subjects) in conducting research and disseminating research findings.
Introduce data analysis methods.
