Social Works Practice Res I- week 4 DISCUSSION

Social Works Practice Res I- week 4 DISCUSSION
From Problem to Research Question
At this point, you may have an idea of your general social work topic, but what specific problem does that point to and how can that problem be conveyed as a question to be explored? In order to conduct a successful research study, the research question must be clearly defined, well justified, and offer something new to the social work knowledge base. The research study can only be as good as the research question that guides it.
For this Discussion, you articulate the problem you are focusing on and craft your research question to address that problem. You also consider the value of the identified problem by considering how it relates to social work practice.
BY DAY 3 (Please write out the sub headings)

To Prepare:
• Review the Learning Resources on identifying research problems and developing research questions.
• Consider the problem that you would like to study in your proposed research, the gap in knowledge that it addresses, and how it connects to social work practice.


BY DAY 4
• Share the problem you are focusing on in your research. What would you like to know about this topic; that is, what is a gap in knowledge that your research on the topic could fill? Based on the identified problem, develop and share your research question here. How does this problem relate to practice?
