Evidence Based Social Work Practice (EBSWP) is a systematic approach to making decisions that emphasizes (1) formulating answerable questions, (2) locating, critically appraising and interpreting the relevant research evidence, (3) applying best available evidence in consultation with clients, and (4) evaluating and intervention. Using a problem-based learning model, students evaluate and interpret the best available evidence relating to a number of social work policy and practice questions. The methods and techniques used in social work research including research design, data collection methods, basic analytic techniques and theoretical orientations underlying them will be explored. 09/02/2024-12/09/2024 Online Monday 06:00PM - 09:00PM, Online, Room 100
