Description
ScWk 240 is the first course in the graduate social work research sequence during the foundation year. It provides students with the foundation concepts and skills for using research evidence to inform and improve practice, policy, and social service delivery, as well as to evaluate their own practice. The course prepares students to identify evidence-based interventions and to consider how to employ evidence-based interventions. It also provides students with the ability to understand and use quantitative and qualitative research methods and to build knowledge using scientific and ethical approaches. The course prepares students to critically assess current knowledge about diverse individuals, families, and communities. Emphasis is placed on concepts necessary to evaluate one’s own practice, as well as the service delivery process. ScWk 240 provides the conceptual base for the second course in the graduate research sequence (ScWk 242), as well as for the Master of Social Work Special Project (ScWk 298).
