Samenvatting

With its practical and accessible writing style, Research Methods for Social  Workers offers numerous examples from the field of social work and emphasises how research and social work practice are connected. 

 

With over 25 years of teaching research and social work practice course, the author understands first-hand how practice and research are connected and how vital they are to each other.

 

Each chapter reflects and integrates the core competencies in the 2008 Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards (EPAS) set by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE).  End-of-chapter assessment reinforces this integration.

        Wat is een AI-book?

        Een AI-book is niet een boek dat geschreven is door AI maar een boek dat verrijkt is met AI. Het maakt de inhoud van een boek interactief via WhatsApp, zodat je ermee kunt chatten. Zie het als een razend slimme assistent die het boek perfect begrijpt en er alles uit onthouden heeft. Jij kunt deze assistent alles vragen. Vraag bijvoorbeeld hoe je iets kunt toepassen op jouw persoonlijke situatie, om een korte samenvatting, of wat de belangrijkste inzichten zijn. AI-books zijn alleen te gebruiken via WhatsApp, je hoeft er geen aparte app voor te installeren.
