Explores the nature of knowledge, how it is generated and acquired. Students will distinguish explanatory from practice theory, understand paradigms as bases for ideas, recognize and formulate concepts, understand relational statements, theoretical statements, and how these relate to theory and data. Strategies for building knowledge will be discussed. Students will analyze theories into their components, construct mini-theories, and propose how they can be tested in social work practice.
