This course introduces students to qualitative research methods in social work. Students will learn to gain insight and explore phenomena in their natural settings, interpreting the meaning people attribute to them. Students will learn about the methodological, cultural, ethical and political issues that underlie qualitative research. Students will learn about the unique role of qualitative research for knowledge development, including epistemology, theory, conceptual frameworks, and designs. Students will learn approaches for generating, interpreting and reporting qualitative data, including strategies for addressing rigor in the analysis of data. Students will learn about reflexivity in the research process and how their culture and place in society affect research methods and the interpretation of data. This course will provide students with a working knowledge of how to use qualitative approaches and methods to understand the perceptions, behaviors, processes and problems that are the focus of social work practice and education. This course provides the necessary knowledge needed to work on a research-based article that is a requirement for the banded dissertation. Prerequisite: DRSW 728.
