1 GEORGE WARREN BROWN SCHOOL OF SOCIAL WORK WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY FALL 2010 MSW Research Seminar S CREDIT HOURS: 3 GRADE: LG ROOM: Goldfarb 39 DAY/TIME: Monday, 9-12am CLASS DATES: September 13 December 20, 2010 INSTRUCTORS: Megan Petra Office: Brown 2 Office hours: by appointment Phone: mpetra@wustl.edu Nora Wikoff Office: Brown 9 Office hours: by appointment Phone: nwikoff@go.wustl.edu I. COURSE DOMAIN AND BOUNDARIES The MSW Research Seminar is a two-semester course (MSW Research Seminar I and MSW Research Seminar II). Its primary purposes are to: (a) facilitate student progress in developing and implementing the research project, and (b) provide research content not obtained in other research courses offered in the MSW program. Students undertake a research project of their interest for two semesters. This course is required for students taking the Research Specialization. The MSW Research Seminar I is designed to provide students with expertise in planning and implementing social research. Students will learn how to build a professional knowledge base and study social issues scientifically. Ethical issues related to conducting research and sensitivity to diversity (including issues of gender, disability, culture, race, socioeconomic class, sexuality, religion and oppression), particularly as they relate to research, will be addressed throughout the course. In MSW Research Seminar I students will evaluate research of others as they develop their research question(s) and a research proposal to study their question(s). They will also improve their statistical skills as they attend computer lab every week and work with secondary data throughout the semester. Prereq: S : Statistics and S : Research Methods for Social Work Practice.
2 Students may take other required courses for Research Specialization (S : Evaluation of Programs and Services or S : Social Policy Analysis and Evaluation, and S : Applied Linear Modeling) concurrently with MSW Research Seminar I. II. CORE COMPETENCIES AND PRACTICE BEHAVIORS Core Competency Apply critical thinking to inform and communicate professional judgments Engage diversity and difference in practice Engage in research-informed practice and practice-informed research Apply knowledge of human behavior and the social environment Practice Behaviors Distinguish, appraise, and integrate multiple sources of knowledge, including research-based knowledge, and practice wisdom Recognize the extent to which a culture s structures and values may oppress, marginalize, alienate, or create or enhance privilege and power Use research evidence to inform practice Frame empirically answerable questions from needs/problems encountered in practice Locate the best available empirical evidence of any type Critically evaluate empirical evidence Critically evaluate the effects of policy on practice using best available evidence Specify, design, execute, analyze and communicate empirical research at multiple levels (contribution to EBP data) Utilize conceptual frameworks to guide the processes of assessment, intervention, and evaluation III. TEXT/REQUIRED READINGS Engel, R. J., & Schutt, R. K. (2009). The practice of research in social work. 2 nd ed. Thousand Oaks, CA: SAGE Publications, Inc. Additional required readings will be on Blackboard. Recommended reading Previous students have found the following book very helpful while learning to use SAS: Delwiche, L. D., & Slaughter, S. J. (2003, 3 rd Edition). The little SAS book: A primer. NC: SAS Institute Inc. ISBN
3 IV. ORGANIZATION OF THE COURSE This two-semester seminar employs student-centered learning and a group discussion format. Each week during fall semester, students will read two sets of materials: articles in their area of interest and assigned readings. The first set of reading materials is aimed at sharpening a student s substantive knowledge in the area of his/her interest and is, therefore, student-specific. Each week, each student will locate, read, and critically analyze at least three peer reviewed articles in the area of his/her interest. Each week during the first half of the semester, several (pre-designated) students will share their findings based on these readings. The second set of reading materials is designed to sharpen students technical and theoretical skills related to proposal writing. Each student will read the same assigned readings and come prepared to participate in class discussion and submit their assignments on the due date. We introduce and develop the knowledge of this course through lectures and discussions centered on the weekly topics. Each week during the second half of the semester, several (pre-designated) students will share their preliminary research proposals. V. ROLE OF INSTRUCTOR AND STUDENTS The instructors will facilitate the student s learning experience through lectures, computer lab exercises and outside consultation with students. The instructors will provide timely feedback on student performance. You are expected to attend class on time and be prepared, complete all required readings and assignments in a timely manner, and participate actively in class. If you experience problems with attendance or meeting deadlines, it is important that these difficulties be discussed promptly with the instructors. If you have a disability or impairment that requires an accommodation, please contact the Washington University Disability Student Services at the Disability Resource Center, Voice/TTY: , FAX, After having contacted them, please contact the instructors. If English is your second language, and you need special assistance in lectures, reading assignments, and/or testing, please contact the instructor and seek assistance from the writing lab, Brown Hall, Room 308, VI. ASSIGNMENTS AND GRADING CRITERIA Assignments Readings and summaries. Each student must read at least three articles published in peerreviewed journals (in the area of their interest) and critically analyze the content of these articles. A short written summary and analysis will be submitted to instructors weekly via Blackboard before class begins. Other readings for each week are assigned below.
4 Presentations. Students will give several in-class presentations over the course of the semester: a summary/critical evaluation of an existing peer-reviewed article in their area of interest, an overview of their early research ideas and focus, an explanation presentation of their preliminary model, and presentation of their full proposal at the end of the semester. SAS lab. Students will complete weekly SAS lab activities and will submit a Word version of their log to the instructors weekly via Blackboard before class begins. Three formal SAS lab assignments will be due during the semester, submitted via Blackboard before class begins (see course outline, below). Research proposal. At the end of the first semester each student is required to produce a research proposal, to be submitted via Blackboard on 12/13/10 by 4pm. The final research proposal will be modeled after requirements for professional grant proposals, and may include secondary analysis of existing data or collection and analysis of new data. Students should follow guidelines contained in the APA publication manual (6 th edition) in writing their proposal. A typical proposal includes a clearly-thought-out research question, literature review, relevant theory and hypotheses, and operationalization of concepts and variables. It will also discuss the research design, internal and external validity, reliability and validity of instruments, ethical issues, data collection and analyses procedures to be used in the study. Further instructions will be distributed over the course of the semester. Peer review. Each student will peer review several 2-3 students preliminary versions of their research proposals, and will return the proposals, with written feedback, to the authors within one week (see course outline, below). The peer review feedback form should also be submitted to instructors via blackboard before class on 12/6/10. Authors will then revise their proposals and submit final copies to the instructors the following week.

SAS lab write-ups will be evaluated in the following areas: demonstrated understanding of statistics and use of SAS, and clear presentation of findings (including variables and research question for assignment where applicable, tables, presentation of statistical results, and interpretation of results). The proposal will be evaluated in the following areas: thoroughness in formulation of a research question, literature review, use of relevant theory, selection of appropriate analyses techniques, lack of redundancy, accuracy of reporting, clarity, and creativity. Grading scale The overall grade will be calculated according to the following scale: A = 95% and above A- = 90-94% B+ = 87-89% B =84-86% B- =80-83% C+ =77-79% C =74-76% C- =70-73% D+ =67-69% D =64-66% D- =60-63% F =<60%
