Homework: Improve Practice Using Evidence
When you hear the word "evidence" in evidence-based practice, you may think of hours in a library. But social workers seek evidence through many different sources, including supervisors, colleagues, trainings, conferences, scholarly publications, and professional journals.
At the same time, just because research is published does not mean it is without limitations. Social workers strive to be critical consumers of research related to practice. Even if you do not wish to conduct research, it is important to understand the language of research to determine whether or not the findings could be applied to the client population with whom you work. You also want to be able to evaluate your client outcomes to determine if the intervention you implemented was effective.
For this Homework, you define evidence-based practice and the role of research evidence to improve practice in social work.
In 2 pages paper, respond to the following bellow:
Question 1. Define evidence-based practice in your own words.
Question 2. Explain how you can improve your practice and achieve your professional goals by reading articles about practice or attending training and continuing education.
Question 3. Explain how you can improve practice by evaluating the outcomes of practice.
Question 4. Provide an example by identifying whether you met or did not meet the goal. Explain how you will use this information as you plan your skill development for moving forward in the program.
