Description
Subject Area: Social Work
This course focuses on the connections between social work practice and research: evidence-based practice (EBP) and practice-based research. Students will learn the potentials and limitations of the EBP in social work and the process of conducting the EBP. This course also provides students with opportunities to extend their understanding of different research methodologies, to obtain skills and knowledge related to the research process, to learn the importance of conducting research well-grounded in practice, and to understand ethical and political issues related to social work research. These skills and knowledge will facilitate students’ learning in other courses, field practicum, and future professional practice.
