Description:

Research and Evaluation Methods in Social Work Practice II is the second course in a two-course foundation research sequence. At this level, students become active participants in conducting self-directed social work research. Additionally, students continue to deepen and extend their knowledge and skills as they relate to social work research and evaluation at the generalist practice level. Substantive topics include: techniques and tools involved in data analysis; techniques used in summarizing and describing data; basic concepts of statistical testing probability, sampling distributions, statistical inference; and the use of selected statistical tests that are utilized by generalist practitioners to provide answers to practice questions. Focus will also be on the application of research methods to the evaluation of social programs and assessment of empirically based practice models. In follow-up to Research in Social Work Practice I, the course continues to explore social research as a means for promoting a Black perspective, strengths perspective, and for attending to cultural diversity and social and economic justice for all, especially populations-at-risk.Prerequisites: SCWK 413.Credit, three hours.
