Explain the relationship between the IV and DV.

Discusion – Key Elements of Research

Research Methods for social work eighth edition
Discussion

Use peer-reviewed scholarly journal articles to identify a theory or paradigm that will best explain the relationship between the IV and DV you have identified for your research question. You must be able to address how the selected theory/paradigm explains this relationship. The theory/paradigm selected must logically “flow” from your RQ

Briefly (300-550 words) discuss the main themes that address this relationship (Wikipedia is NOT considered a reputable source).

You must adhere to APA formatting. Edit all discussions prior to submission.

Remember that you are required to answer all discussion boards by responding to each question and incorporating course concepts in the discussions and “using your own words” to address the questions. You must use citations; however, it is NOT appropriate to respond to a discussion using long quotations from the textbook. Regurgitation of verbatim quotations does not demonstrate understanding or master of the course concepts. Your ability to synthesize the course concepts in your own words speaks to critical thinking, which is essential to this course and professional social work.

Tip: Please remember to add a subject line to your post. Use descriptive subject lines for your posts; some find it easier to write the subject line after writing the post.

You are also required to respond (150-200 words) to at least two other students’ postings in order to advance discussion and meet the requirements established in the syllabus.

Grading: Please see the Grading Criteria and Rubric for Discussions in the Syllabus.
