Social Work Paper (Research Method)

Social Work Paper (Research Method)

 Group Assignment: Inductive research can be easily conducted by students. Choose a common social activity (e.g., grocery shopping, eating in a restaurant or cafeteria, waiting in line at a bank, courting rituals at a dance club). Members of the group should go into the field for an hour and observe how people conduct themselves in this activity. Members should do this separately (or at least in sub-groups of no larger than two members). Students should be attentive to patterns that emerge from the observation, but should try not to engage actors or make their observation too obvious (as this may bias results!) After their hour of field work, students should meet to discuss the patterns they observed. During the next class period, each group should present empirical generalizations based on these observations. If possible (but not required), students might then find some theory or research that corresponds to these generalizations and report as to whether their observations make sense given pre-existing research or theory. Each group member must provide a brief (one page) summary of his/her observations that was brought to the group for discussion. Groups will present their information in class.

    Application: Role and Value of Evaluation

     Application: Role and Value of Evaluation 

    The  United Nations, the American Red Cross, and other international  disaster response organizations worked together to care for the trauma  survivors after a series of four devastating hurricanes smashed into  Haiti one after another, before communities had time to regroup from the  previous ones. Then the 2010 massive earthquake struck the island. The  poverty in Haiti complicated responder effectiveness and may have  compounded survivor trauma because residents had few resources. While  back to back disasters may make it difficult to evaluate crisis  management plans, they point to the importance of learning what worked  and what went wrong. 

     

     

    Once  a disaster has occurred, the evaluation process includes a review of  what was effective in the response as well as what was not effective.  Learning and improved insights from a disaster can require making  strategic changes in an organization or community. Last  week you encountered new procedures for disaster transportation  recovery, such as design-build, that can change the manner in which  communities recover from disasters. Organizations can take a lesson from  this change in thinking and creativity and look at innovative practices  for strategic planning and recovery. Therefore, evaluation is a key  element in crisis management planning and recovery.

     

     To prepare for this assignment

     

     

    Review Chapter 17 in your course text, Crisis Intervention Strategies,  focusing on systems overviews and the Principles of a Crisis  Intervention Ecosystem. Consider the value of ongoing plan evaluation.

     

    Review the Appendix and Chapters 5 and 9 in your course text, Crisis Management in the New Strategy Landscape, focusing on organizational learning and evaluation of crisis management plans.

     

    Review  the article, "Program Evaluation: The Accountability Bridge Model for  Counselors." Consider how counselors can use program evaluation to  enhance accountability to stakeholders.

     

    Review recent crises and/or disasters online and think about what can be learned about crisis management from them.

     

     The assignment: (2 page paper APA Format) 

     

     Provide  an analysis of the role and value of evaluation as part of a crisis  management plan. Provide specific examples to illustrate your arguments.

     You are an owner of a small food market and provide a check-cashing service to your customers. One of your customers, Jack, cashed a check at the store for $200. You make a daily deposit of checks and cash to your bank, and in the process properly indorsed Jack’s check and included it in your deposit.

    Your deposit reached your bank, First State, and Jack’s check was credited to your bank account. The check then went into the clearing process and was presented for payment at Jack’s bank, Third State. Unfortunately, Jack had insufficient funds in his bank account and the check was dishonored and stamped as not paid due to insufficient funds.
