Research in Practice Study (up to 5000 words) Full details and guidance are in the Module Guide.
The assignment for this module requires you to submit a critical practice study based on existing theory, research and writing about: a specific area of practice in social work, concerning a named service user group.
Having identified your focus, you should find research and literature relevant to this. The practice study will involve a critical review of relevant research published in peer-reviewed journals and other authoritative sources. It should also include critical coverage of relevant contextual material e.g. relevant legislation, policy and theory.
Reviewing involves analysis, evaluation, critique and synthesis of the literature concerning your subject matter. Having done these things, you are in a position to reach clear and succinct conclusions about the existing literature. For example, you may find that there are inconsistencies in the conclusions drawn by existing research or there may be gaps in the research.
