Paradigms and Models of Social Work Research
This UC aims to provide students with major conceptual and operational tools for fundamental and applied research design in social work, in order to develop innovative and creative research projects.
To meet these objectives the program is designed to provide students with conceptual tools:
1) Social Work as a scientific discipline in the scope of social sciences;
2) Currents of thought in Social Theory and its relationship with research paradigms;
3) Research models in Social Work.
1. Social Work as a knowledge discipline: historical pathway, boundaries and relation with Social Sciences.
2. Social Theory currents of thought:
a. Overarching debates in Social Theory: subject/structure, order/conflict, macro/micro;
b. Classical currents of thought in Social Theory: functionalism, structuralism, interactionism.
c. Debates in contemporary Social Theory: structuration theory, structural-constructivism, critical theory, rational choice theory, actor-network theory
3. From Social Theory to research paradigms:
a. Positivism, neo-positivism and rationalism.
b. Interpretivism, phenomenology and constructivism.
c. Critical realism, anti-oppressive and participatory approaches.
Participatory learning process based either in sessions organized by doctoral students both in conferences and/or seminars of depth studies in Social Work.

The assessment implies the following types of personal work:
- A synthetic presentation in the classroom of the application of the subjects addressed to the final written work (20%);
- Final written work (individual) (80%).
