SWM203 Research and Evaluation in Social Work Practice - Excelsia College

ASSESSMENT: Literature Review and Research

Topic - how people with mental disability are supported in western Sydney

Assessment Description

A key element in creating a successful research project is identifying a research question that explores an area that has not been previously researched, and justifying why it is important and realistic to explore this question. Researchers usually do this by reading literature / ideas that already exist, to make sure they don't replicate research that already exists.

Think about an area of social work research that interests you, and look for literature that relates to this topic.

This assessment requires you to develop one research question that will form the basis of your research paper throughout this semester. You will need to provide a rationale for why you chose this question (e.g. that there are gaps in the literature, with an explanation; research may have been conducted in one context, but you want to explore this research question in a different context).

You will also develop a literature review that is relevant to your research question, showing the main trends, ideas and research that has influenced the development of your research question. A sound literature review will summarise articles, but also highlight gaps in the research you find; these gaps may assist you in further developing your research question. Samples of literature reviews are available on ExO to give you an idea of how to write yours.
