Objectives

This study explored courses offered by social work PhD programs, the variation in these courses by type of university, and how the courses compare to the Group for the Advancement of Doctoral Education in Social Work (GADE) Quality Guidelines.

Study Methods

Course curriculums of 84 GADE-affiliated social work PhD programs were double-blind coded. PhD directors verified codes and answered a brief survey.

Findings

A total of 1146 courses were coded into 28 categories. An average of six research and statistics courses were offered per program. Few programs offered courses in measurement, intervention research, meta-analysis, program evaluation, or grant writing. Most programs indicated that diversity, equity, and inclusion was infused in the curriculum. Less than half (41%) of PhD program directors indicated that GADE Quality Guidelines were influential.

Conclusions

PhD programs are offering more research and statistics courses than in the past, but GADE Quality Guidelines are not consistently followed.

社会工作学院博士课程与课程研究

目标

本研究探讨了社会工作博士课程提供的课程、这些课程因大学类型而异，以及这些课程与社会工作博士教育促进小组 (GADE) 质量指南的比较情况。

学习方法

84 个 GADE 附属社会工作博士课程的课程是双盲编码的。博士生主任验证了代码并回答了一个简短的调查。

发现

共有 1146 门课程被编码为 28 个类别。每个项目平均提供六门研究和统计课程。很少有项目提供测量、干预研究、荟萃分析、项目评估或资助写作方面的课程。大多数项目表明，课程中融入了多样性、公平性和包容性。不到一半 (41%) 的博士项目负责人表示 GADE 质量指南具有影响力。

结论

博士课程提供比过去更多的研究和统计课程，但 GADE 质量指南并没有得到始终如一的遵守。
