SOCW 8600 - Action Research Project

(5 cr.) This final doctoral study action research project demonstrates a student’s scholarly ability to engage in an iterative process to examine, critique, and synthesize knowledge, theory, and experience so that new ideas can be tested; best practices identified, established, and verified; and theoretical, practice, or policy constructs evaluated and advanced. In all cases, the doctoral study is a rigorous inquiry that results in new knowledge, insight, or practice, demonstrating its efficacy in the world of business and management. The goal of the doctoral study action research project is for the social work professional to conduct a participatory investigation that focuses on a research-based intervention within a designated context. Ultimately, every doctoral study makes a fresh contribution to the field of practice in the field of social work and social work education.
