foundation course for generalist social work practice

This course is the second of two courses in the
research component of the curriculum. The first course,
SOW 4414: Measurement in Social Work Research is a
prerequisite. This course introduces students to

practice. Students' mastery of course content prepares
them to develop, use, and effectively communicate
empirically-based knowledge. Research knowledge is
used by students to provide high-quality services; to
initiate change; to improve practice, policy, and social
service delivery; and to evaluate their own practice
from an evidence-based perspective.

resolving social problems, and ameliorating unjust and

designed to provide students with an understanding of
the skills needed to effectively undertake planned
change in organizations and communities. Both may be
thought of as interdependent, complex, open systems
influenced by their environments. Students will learn
