ABSTRACT Based on CSWE’s 2015 EPAS, students in MSW programs are expected to have knowledge of research methods. However, an understanding of how students perceive these courses as they pertain to their future careers as social work practitioners is less known. This qualitative study examined what MSW students learned about themselves as a result of taking a foundational research method course taught with a social justice lens. Five themes emerged from the thematic analysis including critical thinking, using research as a social worker, research and social justice, expanded ability to engage in research, and what students learned about themselves. Implications of including critical reflection and social justice in research courses for MSW students are discussed.

都市固体学生对研究方法课程的认识及其对最终社会工作者自己的看法的影响

摘要根据CSWE的2015年EPAS，预计MSW课程的学生应具有研究方法的知识。但是，很少有人了解学生如何看待这些课程，因为它们与他们作为社会工作从业者的未来职业有关。这项定性研究考察了MSW学生通过参加以社会正义视角教授的基础研究方法课程后所学到的知识。专题分析产生了五个主题，包括批判性思维，使用研究作为社会工作者，研究和社会正义，扩大的参与研究能力以及学生对自己的了解。讨论了将批判性反思和社会公正纳入MSW学生研究课程中的含意。
