Research Opportunity for Social Workers

Dear Colleague:

 

Greetings from Arizona State University!  We hope that you will join us in learning more about the profession. We would appreciate your time and attention, and offer in return 1.5 free Continuing Education credits for your participation in this dynamic and didactic training. 

 

This project is being performed to better understand how social workers come to conclusions and make decisions. It also includes personalized feedback to help you understand your own behaviors, and a didactic portion at the end with video instruction. We believe this project has the potential to assist in solving problems faced by many social work experts. You are invited to participate if you are a social worker at any stage of your career.

 

This self-paced training program on Decision Making in Social Work is free. You will receive 1.5 hours of Continuing Education credits for your participation. Should you choose to engage this opportunity, you will first participate in a dynamic and interactive session (roughly 45 min) in which you read materials from a case and make judgments about the material, followed by tailored feedback about your performance and suggestions for how to improve your expert judgment. Then, a video (roughly 45 min) will follow. Upon completion, you will be able to access your continuing education certificate for 1.5 CEs hours. 


If you are willing to help by responding to the questions on this survey, we are happy to share the results. If you need clarification, or have questions, or would like a summary of the results, please contact Emily Denne at the email address listed below. Thank you for your time and your attention to this request.  We hope you join us in this project.

 

Warm regards,
