DSW Capstone Project Research 1

Course Description

This capstone sequence provides doctoral candidates with an advanced, integrative experience in developing a qualitative interpretive meta-synthesis study (QIMS). Students will use the QIMS framework to explore a social work practice problem and/or issue of concern. Course one of three capstone courses required for completion of the final capstone meta-synthesis project is designed to support students in executing the beginning steps of conducting a QIMS process including completing the first three sections of the final capstone meta-synthesis study, namely identifying a problem or issue of concern and writing a problem statement, conducting a systematic review of the qualitative literature relevant to the problem or issue of concern, and developing a relevant research question that supports the problem statement and literature review. Students will use the work completed in this capstone course to support further development of the eventual final capstone meta-synthesis study project.
