Evaluating in Practice: Interrupting, Translating and Inhabiting Qualitative Inquiry as Professional Practice
- 1. Evaluating in Practice: Interrupting, Translating and Inhabiting Qualitative Inquiry as Professional Practice Ian Shaw - Workshop European Conference for Social Work Research, Oxford, 2011
- 2. My approach Evaluating in Practice Or Qualitative Social Work ‘Methodological practice’
- 3. What it is and is not Practice not research or evaluation Not end phase but every phase About method not findings
- 4. Resource and model Historically, the influence of science on direct social work practice has taken two forms. One is the use of the scientific method to shape practice activities, for example, gathering evidence and forming hypotheses about a client’s problem. The other form is the provision of scientific knowledge about human beings, their problems and ways of resolving them. (Reid, 1998)
- 5. Constructivist and… Resolving the relationship between objectively available behaviour (which we can all point to) and subjective intentional experience (which we all know exists), and constructing a suitable framework for unifying those within a rigorous scientific methodology are genuinely difficult puzzles worthy of a central place within our attention. Martin Mills in THE 2010
- 6. Four problems A narrowness of conception of intervention possibilities. For most practitioners practice as delivered through interviewing – a certain kind of interviewing that easily becomes routinized and formulaic. An unhelpful – because again narrowly conceived – conception of the relationship between research and practice. One that renders the ‘method’ of social work invisible. An unduly deferential and subservient conception of the relationship between social science and social work. A constrained view of what is entailed in social work evaluation. Typically a post hoc, evaluation-asaccountability model.
- 8. Exercising Visual methods and brain injury Narrative and working with ‘bleak depression’ Ethnographic inquiry through systematic self observation. a limit on how participatory these can be because they are all developed with students or practitioners in mind, and they cannot fully work outside the specifics of an immediate practice context.
