透過研究，讓我們更了解我們所生存的世界！掌握研究方法，我們便可以從知識的接受者，漸漸移動到知識的生產者這樣的位置。社會工作研究方法是社工系的一門基礎必修課，所以這門課我們將著重於講解社會工作研究方法的重要知識概念。同時，在這學期的課程中，我們也會跟著授課進度一步、一步地執行一份量化研究，從實際的演練中了解如何應用量化研究來瞭解與探究生活世界中（當然也包括社會工作的知識與實務）的問題與現象。期待我們可以從這樣的學習，發展出對於社會社會工作相關現象與議題進行探索、描述與解釋的洞察力。Through research, we can better understand the world we live in! By mastering research methods, we can gradually move from the recipient of knowledge to the position of knowledge producer. Social work research methods is a basic required course in the Department of Social Work, so in this course we will focus on explaining the important knowledge concepts of social work research methods. At the same time, in this semester's course, we will also follow the teaching progress to carry out a quantitative research step by step, and learn from the actual exercise how to apply quantitative research to understand and explore the living world (of course, including social work knowledge and practical) problems and phenomena. It is expected that from such learning, we can develop insights into exploring, describing and explaining social and social work-related phenomena and issues.
