• SWK 774: Comprehensive Seminar

  3.00 Credits

  Millersville University of Pennsylvania

  
  Students will engage in a collaborative learning experience in which they assess whether as doctoral students they have acquired the knowledge and skills necessary for proceeding with the development of a Doctoral Dissertation. Utilizing a phenomenon of interest, students will demonstrate their ability to conceptualize a clear and compelling research topic by organizing, presenting, and critiquing both theoretical and empirical knowledge related to the phenomenon. Further, students will identify areas needing further exploration as well as possible research methods to conduct the proposed research. The Comprehensive Paper must demonstrate that the student has acquired a sufficiently broad understanding of the phenomenon of interest, and indicate that the student is prepared to add to knowledge in the field through an independent in-depth study of a topic relevant to best practices in social work related to leadership, teaching, or both. Students will orally defend their comprehensive paper. The defense will include an overview of the phenomenon as well as a summary of the research question that could be employed should students continue with the same topic for their dissertation. Prerequisite:    SOWK/SWK 701; SOWK/SWK 705; SOWK/SWK 725

Ethical considerations in research will be examined, and students will become familiar with their institution's IRB process. Dissertation process will be considered, including the development of the dissertation committee. In addition, students will consider deeply the relationship between their education and their future roles as leaders and educators.
