Most social work students prefer micro practice – no surprise there. But most also steer clear of anything with a whiff of research to it, and that ought to be surprising. It may be that it is becoming more surprising as you read your text and work on the assignments, though. Is it? Are you beginning to see that maybe the “gut level” of “sure! that ought to work!” may not be enough – particularly when the research is out there?
Rubric: answer the following;
CSWE Competencies and Practice Behaviors, introduced
Review 2.1.6 (from the syllabus). Is the point of EBP and research/practice making any sense yet?
Maybe “gut level” isn’t quite enough as a determinant of what you’ll do with a client. Why?
Review the 3 “legs” of the “stool” that is EBP, and address the Competencies in terms of them.
Include at least one scholarly* reference. References and in-text citations are to be done in correct APA 6th edition style. Required Text(s): Practitioner’s Guide to Using Research for Evidence-Based Practice 2nd Edition by Allen Rubin (Author), Jennifer Bellamy (Author
ISBN-10: 1118136713
I will upload the chapter 2, the PDF slides and Competencies (EP 2.1.6 and its Practice Behaviors) along with two links
