Social work knowledge and understanding draws heavily on research, and the ability to critically analyse research findings is a core skill for social workers. However, while many social work students are confident in reading qualitative data, a lack of understanding in some basic statistical concepts means that this same confidence does not always apply to quantitative data.
In this authoritative text, a collection of leading names in social work research and academia unpack the basic concepts of quantitative research methods - including reliability, validity, probability, variables and hypothesis testing - and explore key areas of data collection, analysis and evaluation, providing a detailed examination of their application to social work practice.
Packed with activities and practice examples, this comprehensive text will equip students and practitioners with the essential knowledge and skills in undertaking and applying quantitative research in everyday practice.Author Biography
