A T THIS POINT IN YOUR SOCIAL WORK EDUCATION, you may be more comfortable, or at least more familiar, with social work practice than with social work research. Social work practice, like research, is a systematic process. That is, social workers use a practice framework to guide their actions. Therefore, an effective strategy to become familiar with the steps in social work research is to relate them to your practice framework.
