- Description:
- This study examines whether Master's level social work students rely on the problem-solving skills taught in the School of Social Work. The focus of this study was to examine the relationship between the problem-solving skills of a first-year student at the Whitney M. Young, Jr. School of Social Work at Clark Atlanta University and those of a second-year student at the same institution. This study was based on the premise that students who have completed more social work courses will have more problem-solving skills than the students who have completed fewer courses. Simply stated, as students progress through a Master of Social Work program, their problem-solving skills will increase. An exploratory descriptive study was conducted to test the hypothesis. The data was obtained through a self-reported questionnaire. It was later coded and analyzed using the t-test method of analysis. This type of test was used to determine the significance of the difference between the two groups. The conclusions drawn from the findings suggest that more research should be conducted on social work students and their problem-solving skills.
