Smale and Tuson (1993) propose three models of assessment: • The questioning model: where the worker is seen as expert and follows a set format of questions • The procedural model: in which the worker gathers information in order to see if agency criteria are met • The exchange model: in which the service user is seen as expert in his or her own situation and the worker helps to provide resources and seeks to maximise potential. In conclusion, I realise that people change and as a social worker I need to be aware that new information may emerge that causes situations change, so I have to consider the impact it has on the assessment. Although the assessment is often viewed as a separate stage to the intervention, it is also a continuous
How can not knowing the proper terminology affect you as you conduct criminal justice research? If there is a misunderstanding of previous research, the results could reflect on an officers daily duties; such as, incident reports, investigations, negotiations, interviews, and interrogations. Researchese is a language of research that includes concepts and variables to represent operationalization and hypotheses in research. * If common terminology is not understood completely, it would be difficult to understand data collection regardless of how it was collected. To both understand research and conduct new research is it vital that each person involved understands the terminology associated with research and research techniques.
Reflection on action is as described above where one contemplates in retrospect. Reflection is largely about self development t as it adds to your knowledge and also challenges beliefs and concepts that you may hold. Reflection is only effective if one follows through with action. 1.2 Analyse the rationale for reflective practice It is human nature that we generally learn from experience, once we have had and experience we naturally observe and reflect on it, through this we form concepts/beliefs and then we test this out in new situations, this goes round in circles each time our view/concepts are being changed as we experience new things. In this cycle self-observation and evaluation helps to understand one’s own actions and to refine one’s practice on an ongoing basis for the benefits of the communities being served.
supervision level 5 Supervision theories and practices began emerging as soon as counsellors started to train other counsellors (Bernard & Goodyear, 2009). Several different theoretical models have developed to clarify and support counselling supervision. The focus of early models of supervision had generally been based on counselling theories (such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Adlerian or client-centred), but these orientation-specific models have begun to be challenged as supervision has many characteristics that are different to counselling. Competency as a counsellor does not automatically translate into competency as a supervisor, and when supervisee/supervisor orientations differ, conflicts may arise (Falender & Safranske, 2004). More recent models of supervision have integrated theories from psychology and other disciplines, for one-to-one, peer and group supervision.
He also believed that different interviews are used for different purposes. Research through interview attains information and understanding of issues which are relevant to specific questions of a research project. Arkskey 1999 et al.... believed that one of the great strengths of using interviews for research is that it takes many different approaches. Structured interviews are when a researcher asks questions which are set in advance. A disadvantage to this will be that the researchers may be biased as they will already have a set of questions therefore likely to gain expected answers.
As defined above formal research involves the collecting and analyzing of data and has its various types of formal research. Formal research can come in the form of basic research and applied research which are both different processes that produce similar results through different types of means. Basic research is used to gain a better understanding of issues and problems in a given organizational situation. Basic Research is more specific to the problem at hand (Sekaran, 2009) and can be used to tackle issues, topics, and problems that have a much broader focus. Applied research is research that applies to specific issues and problems that an organization is looking to address.
Simply allowing each party to express their issues and how to resolve it and then finding a middle ground to resolve the situation. In some individual cases with staff, Supervisions or assessments are required to gain more information. With agencies, data collection is vital to agreeing terms, if it is proven that a certain way of working or regulations works then it is hard to argue with conflicting evidence in the benefit of the disagreement. 3.4 – Demonstrate methods of assessing the effectiveness of joint working
How have the texts you have studied explored shifting attitudes towards belonging? (ETA 2009 Trial) Other 1. More than anything else, belonging is about finding a sense of place in the world’ Do you agree? Argue your point of view, referring to the texts you have studied 2. Belonging is dynamic, process driven and complex.
Using this particular method is known as qualitative research because it is aimed at a specific group or target. In this method, researchers know in advance what is expected and the design emerges as the study continues. Qualitative research produces more abundant information, although it is more time consuming participants are given the chance to do in-depth interviews. Conducting interviews in this manner creates some ethical issues such as the legal validity of contract. In order to participate in any type of study individuals must be informed of the purpose, the risks, and what is expected from the target group.
It is essential to specify populations, interventions, and outcomes, and sometimes comparators, timing, and settings. It can also identify potential modifiers and mediators of effectiveness as it describes the aspects of the project by analyzing all the available data and provides assumptions of effective intervention. Therefore, all systematic reviews conducted in the evidence-based practice center program should have analytical frameworks (McPheeters, 2009). According to Lieberman (2007), applying analytical framework into the problem solving will help by providing a checklist of skills, tools, and techniques for the research, including the specific skills to meet the desired situation/needs and to analyze the complex problem systematically. However, there are some drawbacks of using frameworks, such as it is powerful but complex, hard to learn, expensive to develop and it requires a detail documentation and
