The purpose of this course is to explore and address the role of curriculum – implicit and explicit – in operationalizing the mission and purpose of a social work program, regardless of level – BSW, MSW, and Doctorate. Social work programs ‘live’ in larger institutional, societal, and cultural contexts. Students will consider the influences on and the role of curriculum in the institution at large, including faculty governance structures that guide curriculum development and changes, the influences of mission and goals on curriculum development at multiple levels, and the unique role of accreditation in the development of social work curriculum and the influence of international education. Students will engage in curriculum development through the application of current CSWE Education Policy and Standards (EPAS). Students will independently, and as team members, implement and map this process from mission and purpose through delivery to include assessment and ongoing improvement.

The purpose of this course is for students to gain the knowledge and skills necessary to assess teaching and learning through scientific methods and applications of outcomes for quality improvement. We will examine the teaching and assessment practices of exemplary teachers in higher education. Using quantitative and qualitative methods of research, we will explore important social justice principles in SoTL generally and teaching evaluation methods specifically, including multiple learning styles, developmental needs of students, and diversity.

In this course students will identify their primary area of scholarship and research inquiry and develop the proposal for their Banded Dissertation (BD). Students will evaluate a continuum of methodological approaches to consider for their scholarship that are both congruent with social work practice realities and representative of models of inquiry that incorporate multiple world views of knowing and understanding the human experience. Students will learn about how conceptual frameworks guide research and scholarship and identify the conceptual framework that will guide their banded dissertation. Students will learn about the role and management of the institutional review board and the effective management of research projects. Students will explore and critically analyze Boyer’s four areas of scholarship: the scholarship of discovery, scholarship of integration, scholarship of application and scholarship of teaching. Students will develop an understanding of the process for publication requirements for scholarship works in peer-reviewed journals and presentation of scholarship at regional and national conferences.

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.
