Influence change through delivering an oral presentation to managers,
professionals and service users which critically appraises and applies
knowledge from research to inform practice
The Research and Evaluation Methods in Social Work module (SWK
751)
Research Evaluation Methods to Inform Social Work module (SWK 754)
These two modules are also part of the Research Model Programme. These
require the Evidence-Informed Professional and Organisation Module (or
equivalent) as a pre-requisite for entry. Candidates build on the literature
review undertaken during that module (or equivalent) to undertake a
work-based research, service evaluation or professional audit project agreed
with line management. Candidates develop knowledge and skills in designing
and managing a project that will support robust, evidence-based development
of professional practice and services. An additional booklet on the outcomes
from these modules are produced and placed on http://www.ulster.ac.uk/dare.
With Covid 19 restrictions candidates on the academic year 2020-2021 were
taught virtually. This format worked well but in the future years we hope to
return to live teaching sessions adopting a blended approach.
