Question Description

Competent social workers are able to construct a strong foundation upon which to build skills by understanding theories from a variety of disciplines. The disciplines of psychology, education, and sociology offer a number of development theories that can easily be applied to the practice of social work. For this Assignment, consider how a theory from another discipline may shed light on social work practice with children and adolescents.

By Day 7

Submit a 2- to 4-page paper in which you choose a theory of development from another discipline (refer to Erikson, Piaget, Freud etc.). In your analysis, be sure to address how the theory does or does not relate to social work practice. Please use the Learning Resources to support your answer.

Question Description

Please share your paradigms and truisms here for next week.

A) Based on all the projects and experiments you have done, or concerns and big questions you have in your work, define your paradigm. You will need to develop this using the 6 criteria that briefly talked about last class. Get abstract and push the concepts so that they produce a “crisis;” remember this is speculative to some extent, best asked in the form of a “what if….” question. Speculate about how your claim could exceed your current practice. Write it down as a phrase or action based process. What is the big picture we are getting from your practice.

The six criteria for a paradigm are:

1. it produces a crisis – a rupture

2. It is not necessarily true

3.it must be exemplary

4. sufficiently unprecedented

5. open ended with lots of problems

6. joins other fields or what we thought to be a very unrelated problem

B) 15-20 Truisms

and here is the example

Hey everyone,

Truisms and my Paradigm are included in Microsoft Word doc below. Please feel free to leave comments and thoughts, very curious to hear from everyone:)

See ya’ll soon,

Discussion 1: Influence of Historical Events

/0 Comments/in /by

Question Description

In the late 19th century, psychology emerged as a discipline distinct from philosophy, accompanied by increased efforts to measure and classify human behavior. Psychological testing is one way to measure psychological constructs and behavior. The creation of psychological tests has been fueled by the need for mental health diagnosis and for occupational, educational, and military selection. The invention of new statistical techniques, such as factor analysis and item response theory, has led to improvements in the structure and utility of tests.

To prepare for this Discussion, select two events from the timeline of tests and measurement history. Research the events you selected and consider how they influenced the development of tests and measurement.

With these thoughts in mind:

Post by Day 3 a brief description of the two historical events you chose. Explain how these historical events influenced the development of tests and measurement. Then, choose one of the two events and describe a historical example of test misuse and the consequences related to the event.

Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources. Zero plagiarizing Quote work, APA format, No.com’s
