Understanding and applying effective research methods in social work practice is a mandate from both the National Association of Social Workers and the Council of Social Work Education. While research courses are fundamental to ensure that students master the competency needed to meet these expectations, students frequently tend to dread them. The current study was an evaluation of an intervention that used flipped technology (FT). Following the pedagogical model present in the FT literature, students were required to watch videos on course content ahead of class sessions, which then were devoted to application of material via class exercises. Students in a Master's of Social Work (MSW) research class that received the intervention were compared to those in two classes that did not receive the intervention. The goals of the intervention were to increase students' 1) interest in research, 2) beliefs about the importance of research in social work, 3) plans to engage with research after graduation, and 4) research knowledge. The results demonstrated that students in the intervention group did better than the comparison group in all the areas above, except for interest in research (where no differences were found). Implications for social work education are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
