Social Work Research Methods:Learning by Doing

How can we demystify the research process for today’s students? Social Work Research Methods: Learning by Doing instills in students an appreciation for science-informed practice as a means of evaluating client outcomes. With a “learn by doing” approach, author Reginald York takes readers on a step-by-step journey through the process of conducting research. 

Each chapter features not only the hands-on approach to producing research, but also a meticulously prioritized organization of methodology and practical chapter exercises that help reinforce methods mastery. Using their own data, students engage in research tasks where they apply knowledge in realistic and pertinent ways. 

Based on over 30 years of teaching experience, Reginald York’s down-to-earth approach will help students develop an affinity for research as they discover how it can enable them to better serve clients in the field.
