Practising Social Work Research : Case Studies for Learning Paperback
by Dr. Rick Csiernik, Rachel Birnbaum, Barbara Decker Pierce
Paperback
Description
Research is as critical to social work practice as individual and group counseling skills, policy analysis, or community development.
Using an approach similar to those adopted in direct practice courses, this book integrates research with social work practice and in so doing, promotes an understanding and appreciation of the research process to social work students. Sixteen case studies adapted from actual events and case files illustrate different research approaches, including quantitative, qualitative, single subject, and mixed methods.
Through these real-life examples, the authors demonstrate the processes of conceptualization, operationalization, sampling, data collection and processing, and implementation.
Designed to help the student and practitioner become more comfortable with the research process, Practising Social Work Research uses a student-centered approach that capitalizes on the strengths that social work students bring to assessment and problem solving.
