Social workers understand quantitative and qualitative research methods and their respective roles in advancing a science of social work and in evaluating their practice. Social workers know the principles of logic, scientific inquiry, and culturally informed and ethical approaches to building knowledge. Social workers understand that evidence that informs practice derives from multi-disciplinary sources and multiple ways of knowing. They also understand the processes for translating research findings into effective practice.

Walden's MSW program expects students in their specialization year to be able to:

Question 1: Critically evaluate evidence based and "best practice" treatment interventions.

Question 2: Compose clinical intervention plans that are grounded research-based knowledge

Question 3: Briefly describe the agency's intervention/treatment plan

Question 4: Briefly discuss best practices about interventions identified in the literature

Question 5: Briefly discuss how the agency can incorporate those best practices into the current intervention/treatment plan
