Activity ( Social Work Research Class)
Understanding social problems within the context of social work requires careful analysis and the ability to develop researchable questions that can guide meaningful inquiries and interventions. Imagine you are a social worker addressing a significant social issue in your community, such as homelessness, substance abuse, or domestic violence. Drawing from your recent studies, consider how you would construct a research question that could help address this issue.
Reflect on your experiences or observations related to social problems. How might your insights inform the development of a comprehensive approach to researching these issues? Consider the concepts and methods you’ve learned during your studies, and determine which would be most appropriate for this task.
Submission Criteria:
- Identify a specific social problem you are interested in researching.
- Develop a clear and concise research question related to this problem.
- Explain which concepts or methods from your studies would be most effective in exploring this research question and why.
