What research supports these theoretical

Students will present a minimum of 2 theoretical approaches to social work practice, relevant
to their practice and/or MSW specialization. Students will:
1) articulate the relevancy of these theories to social work practice;
2) introduce each relevant theory and demonstrate a critical understanding of these (e.g.,
main tenets of each theory, key theorists and works);
3) present evidence for the use of these theoretical approached for social work practice in
general and/or in practice contexts relevant to their specialization, including limitations and
critiques of the theories.
Questions for reflection and planning include:
Which theories or approaches ground my social work practice? How do these relate to each
other? How do these relate to my specialization or area of interest? How do they promote
socially just outcomes? Who are the main theorists and/or what are the seminal works in this
area and what are their contributions? What are the limitations and critiques of this approach,
within the literature and in practice? What research supports these theoretical
models/approaches in my specialization or area of interest? How do these theories relate to my
own values and personal ethics? How is my theoretical framework informed by my own history,
location, and experience?
Students will craft either a paper of 1500-2000 words (6-8 pages double spaced, not including
references), or develop a graphical/visual representation of their theoretical model, grounded
in theory and evidence, and relevant to their MSW case study and/or specialization. Using ppt,
CANVA, or other design-type apps, students will develop a visual representation of the
theoretical approaches and record a 15 min presentation on zoom (with a list of references
provided in a separate document.
