摘要
社会工作科学化的关键性问题是研究方法。对经济学领域有关数理经济学的争论进行了回顾,结合中美社会工作研究的现状与趋势,提出了定量研究推动社会工作科学化的三个基本原则:一是依循实证研究的传统,使用经验数据检验理论假设;二是吸收邻近学科的最新方法;三是解决社会工作研究与实践中最紧迫和最具挑战性的问题。此外,从使用结构方程模型发展“问题理论”、在干预项目测试中使用倾向值分析、使用元分析方法综合评价干预方法的有效性、更加严格地使用定量方法四个方面讨论了部分具体研究方法在社会工作研究中的应用。
The key issue of shaping social work science is research methodology.Based on a review of economists debates on mathematical economics,this article,combined with the current situation and trend of social work research in China and the United States,puts forward three basic principles.First,quantitative researchers should follow the positivistic/post positivistic principles.Second,social work researchers should incorporate the latest advances in methods from other disciplines.Third,researchers should use quantitative methods to address the most pressing and challenging issues of social work research and practice.The article also discusses the feature and future of recent researches in China.It also discusses the application of some specific research methods in social work research from four aspects:the development of‘problem theory’by using structural equation model,the use of propensity analysis in intervention project testing,the use of meta-analysis to comprehensively evaluate the effectiveness of intervention methods,and the stricter use of quantitative methods.
