Credits: 3.00

This course provides students with the basic tools needed to understand and participate in social work research. It integrates material from epistemology, research design, data collection, management, and analysis into a coherent view of the social research process. The purpose of this course is to prepare professional social workers who understand the means necessary to contribute to the formal development of the profession’s knowledge base and are able to participate meaningfully in the research process to expand it. This includes preparing students to use empirical evidence to guide their professional practice, to evaluate their own practice, and to evaluate social service programs in which they work.
