“…In Hong Kong, such collaborations over the last few decades have been very valuable but not adequately developed. To overcome the hurdles to forging academic–practitioner partnerships, Drisko (2014) recommended standards for research practice, including partnership negotiations. Furthermore, as academics generally play the leading role in practice research, practitioner-led research should be further promoted to inform practice in the future.…”

“…As Epstein et al (2015) indicated, its primary aim is to cross the boundaries of practice and research to advance new knowledge of social work. Regular calls have been made for academics and practitioners in social work to collaborate on research, but there is still much room for improvement (e.g., Bailey-Dempsey & Reid, 1996; Brown, 1982; Drisko, 2014; Epstein, 2015; Franklin, 1999; Hudgins & Allen-Meares, 2000; Rahman & Applebaum, 2010; Rubin, 1985). Drisko (2014) sought to integrate research and practice by systematically contrasting clinical practice and research in social work.…”

Joubert and Hocking (2015) developed a systemic model that encouraged social workers to participate in “evidence-informed” practice research.…”

A review of social work practice research in Hong Kong identified 969 articles published over 50 years. Four main areas of their content were analyzed: (a) authorship, (b) practice area, (c) target clientele, and (d) research method. Our results showed that academics had produced most of the research publications (81%). The most common practice areas were children and youth (20%), mental health (19%), family (19%), and the elderly (11%). Youth (22%), the elderly (14%), and family and parents (14%) were the top three client groups. The majority of the methods (47%) used were quantitative, comprising mostly correlational methods (41%). The future development of Hong Kong’s social work practice research should build on current achievements and promote more practitioner–researcher collaboration.

“…Similarly, NAS BSW students may struggle to understand how theory functions within the research process, as indicated by lower Theory subscale scores. Curriculum efforts to emphasize the role theory plays in both deductive and inductive research may help students to understand not only why theory can be important in research but also the connection between practice, theory, and research (Drisko, 2014). As Drisko (2014) notes, theories from human behavior in the social environment courses could be examined and critiqued with students to determine their empirical support (evidence base) followed by a discussion of the implications for practice.…”

Research Knowledge of Advanced Standing and Traditional Students: Implications for BSW Education

The advanced standing model of social work education, which affords graduate credit to qualified BSW students who pursue their MSW, has not been without issue or controversy, including questions of potential differences in performance on various educational outcomes. Specifically related to research curriculum, the importance of which is often not wholly embraced by students, this article reports the results of a secondary data analysis comparing research knowledge among advanced standing and traditional MSW students as well as among the various undergraduate majors (i.e., BSW, psychology, and sociology). Results suggest that research knowledge is similar and low across student subgroups. Important differences in research knowledge were found among student groups based on undergraduate major, with BSW undergraduates without advanced standing, on average, scoring lower than any other group. Implications for BSW research curriculum are considered.

“…Just as the profession made research methods a required domain of knowledge ( Drisko, 2014), we contend that genomic knowledge and risk concepts must be part of contemporary social work training. Although it is challenging to incorporate the complex and rapidly evolving knowledge base of genomics into expansive social work curricula, this is necessary for ethical social work practice.…”
