Use of Computer-Assisted Information Processing in Social Work Practice

Abstract

Abstract Social work direct practice students are not receiving adequate training in the use of management information systems, evaluation procedures, and computer applications directly relevant to practice. This article presents a model that integrates this content in a combined research utilization and computer lab course. Through a combination of didactic and hands-on learning exercises, students increase their understanding of information processing concepts, gain technical mastery of computer applications, and realize how data-based decision support systems can facilitate the achievement of practice goals.
