Question

Which of the following statements is/are true about the need to critique research quality? Practitioners can rely on researchers to produce good studies, and therefore only have to know the results of those studies. If a research study gets published practitioners can be assured that it is of high quality. Social work practitioners need to understand research methods so they can discriminate strong from weak studies. All of these.

Answer 1

Answer:

Social work practitioners need to understand methods so they can discriminate strong from weak studies.

Explanation:

The experience that people have in their life can be strongly influence by their wealth, religion, ethnicities, race, and cultural background.

So when researchers make a measurement standard and assume that it is applicable to all people with different experience, the data that collected from the studies tend to be really weak and cannot be generally applicable. This is where social work practitioners come in and help the researchers provide a proper methodology to address the differences.
