An Introductory Research Methodology Course Template for Advanced Standing MSW Programs With Thesis Option
The Advanced Standing Master of Social Work (AS-MSW) option allows students with a bachelor’s of social work degree to save time, effort, and money on education. However, AS-MSW programs that require the completion of a thesis for graduation may seem overwhelming due to (a) time constraints and (b) students’ reluctance to learn research. To address these burdens and facilitate a smooth transition from baccalaureate to graduate education, this pap…

Construct Validity and Reliability of the Theory Evaluation Scale
This study aimed to expand the psychometric properties of the Theory Evaluation Scale (TES), specifically its structure, construct validity, and internal consistency. A demographically diverse sample of 113 social work faculty (N = 113) utilized the TES to appraise a social work theory and their responses were used for exploratory factor analysis purposes (EFA). Results showed that the TES (1) is a two-factor scale with both a positivist componen…
Ethical Challenges in Social Work Licensing Examinations
This article discusses four questions. First, what is the operational framework of the Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB)? Second, how congruent is the ASWB's operational framework with social work values and ethics? Third, why do ASWB exam candidates from disadvantaged backgrounds-those who identify as African American, who are older, and who do not speak English as a first language-register comparatively lower pass rates in the clinical l…
A Comparative Analysis of the Strengths Perspective With the Theory Evaluation Scale
Purpose: The Theory Evaluation Scale (TES) is a psychometric tool for analyzing theoretical frameworks that guide practice. Its flexibility assumption contends that a single rater or a panel of experts can evaluate a given theory and the two sets of scores will be comparable. This study tests this assumption, using a popular practice model in social work: the Strengths Perspective (SP). Method: A panel of 50 social work faculty and administrators…
Reentry and transition into college life
In California, formerly incarcerated individuals face several challenges while pursuing higher education. To combat these challenges, there are several programs in the California higher education system that provide supportive services for formerly incarcerated college students (FICS). Yet, there have been limited scholarly evaluations of the efficacy of these programs for formerly incarcerated individuals. This study uses a mixed-methods design …
Career Building Among Formerly Incarcerated College Graduates
The California State University (CSU) Project Rebound is a re-entry program that provides educational, social, financial, and case management to formerly incarcerated college students with the goal of helping them become successful post-incarceration and post-graduation. This exploratory study examines successful career-building strategies reported by formerly incarcerated college graduates (FICG) who participated in a CSU-sponsored re-entry prog…
Causal attributions of poverty among social work faculty
Social work faculty have a professional obligation to train students who will likely work with individuals and families in poverty. Yet it is unknown what social work faculty think about the etiology of poverty. This study filled a gap in the literature by examining factors associated with causal attributions of poverty among 1,037 full-time social work educators. Descriptive statistics revealed that, overall, social work educators’ beliefs about…
Predictors of integration of environmental justice in social work education
With the increase of hazards in the natural environment, social work organizations—Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) and National Association of Social Workers (NASW)—have urged the profession to protect those most vulnerable to hazards by addressing environmental justice issues. Social work students and practitioners have provided perspectives on environmental issues; however, the existing literature knows little about the perspectives of …

Teaching Intersectionality to Enhance MSW Students’ Understanding of Oppression and Privilege
Despite the growing importance of teaching about diversity and its connection to intersectionality, privilege, and oppression in social work education, few studies have examined whether teaching interventions could enhance students’ knowledge of oppression. Thus, this study assessed the extent to which students assimilated content related to intersectionality, privilege, and oppression after an enhanced teaching intervention. Using a one-group pr…
Religion and spirituality in clinical practice
This study explored whether license-holding mental health professionals exhibit comfort/discomfort in addressing religion and spirituality (RS) in practice. Through snowball sampling, 52 clinicians across different fields were recruited across Southern California. The participants were measured descriptively based on (a) comfort in their ability to integrate clients’ RS in treatment and (b) their comfort discussing clients’ RS strengths and strug…
The Self-Sufficiency Framework—Revised
The long-sought self-sufficiency goal of contemporary social welfare systems has been mostly elusive, even in developed countries. This paper presents a revised version of the Self-Sufficiency Framework as a pragmatic strategy for welfare reform, investigating how the current neoliberal approach centered on promoting employment (workfare) could be made more socially just and freedom-oriented. Thus, the framework proposed here accepts the central …
The Great Recession and Economic Resilience
This paper examined the extent to which low-income households in the United States recovered from the Great Recession. Using the 2008 Survey of Income and Program Participation Panel, this longitudinal study traced the footsteps of 7,755 low-income households between 2008 and 2013. This study also compared poor households with their near-poor counterparts with respect to economic resilience vis-à-vis the recession. Descriptive statistics showed t…
Etiology of Poverty
The purpose of this article is to appraise two competing frameworks related to poverty attribution: individualistic theories and structural theories. Using the Theory Evaluation Scale (TES)—an empirically validated nine-criterion measure—this paper scrutinizes the aforementioned theories for coherence, conceptual clarity, philosophical assumptions, connection with previous research, testability, empiricism, limitations, client context, and human …

The theory of empowerment
Empowerment has received considerable attention in the past four decades and become a threshold framework in the field of social work. Using the Theory Evaluation Scale (TES), this paper critically analyzed the empowerment theory with regard to coherence, conceptual clarity, philosophical assumptions, historical roots, testability, empiricism, boundaries, client context, and human agency within the environment. Based on a thorough review of the l…
Poverty and Social Justice
Poverty and social justice have historically been integral components of the social work profession. This profession has earned national and international recognition for its contribution to the welfare of society. Indeed, social workers celebrate the national social work month in the United States and Canada, and the world social work day in the United Kingdom, Australia, and other parts of the globe. Unfortunately, factors such as social work p…
Poverty, Welfare, and Self-Sufficiency
Social workers who feel having a legitimate mandate to carry the social justice core value of their profession must first grasp the depth and breadth of poverty. These workers must then comprehend the sociopolitical underpinnings of welfare policies intended to benefit their clients. This paper explored the scope of poverty in the United States; assessed antipoverty policies in relation to their failure to produce long-term self-sufficiency outco…
Elements of a College Support Program That Matter
Purpose: This study focuses on a campus support program that serves former child welfare and homeless youth. This study aims to identify the program elements that help students transition into and succeed in college. Method: This study uses a mixed-method approach. Quantitative data included administrative and survey data of 50 students. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were used to examine the effects of early engagement on students’ grade po…
Concurrent Participation in Federally-Funded Welfare Programs and Empowerment Toward Economic Self-Sufficiency
This research examined the impact of participation in federal means-tested welfare programs on the attainment and maintenance of economic self-sufficiency. Using the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP), this quasi-experimental investigation compartmentalized 4216 low-income households into an intervention group (n = 2436) and a comparison group (n = 1780). Households in the intervention group received one or more welfare benefits fo…
Serving Former Foster Youth and Homeless Students in College
Many universities have developed campus support programs for former foster youth and homeless college students; however, there are no studies focusing on long-term programs in the college-setting with a mentoring component that focuses on developing relationships with supportive adults. To address the gap, this study examined both mentors' and program staff's experience with providing services to students in a campus support program. The authors …
The welfare/self-sufficiency gap among single mothers through theoretical lenses
Poverty has been a recurring issue in America since time immemorial and become the target of a panoply of corrective measures from the federal government. One of these measures is, of course, the Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF), the key welfare policy under the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996. Since its inception, TANF has constantly been the subject of vehement controversies among politicians…
The War on Poverty Then and Now
Despite officially declaring war on poverty (WOP) in 1964, America still deals with significantly high rates of poverty. The persistence of poverty in the New World is puzzling and has prompted talks of a lost cause among scholars and political leaders. This article describes the scope of poverty in America and its impact on children, revisits the Great Society agenda, and draws analogies between wars and the metaphorical WOP. It is argued that t…

Awareness, the Origin of Thought, and the Role of Conscious Self-Deception in Resistance and Repression
Non-conscious processes involved in the formulation, organization, and expression of thought and consciousness are examined. It is argued that non-organized impulses and imageless non-linguistic knowledge exist prior to and result in the organization recognized as consciousness and thought. Hence consciousness is viewed as the developmental endpoint of a unitary process originating as non-activated sensations and knowledge, i.e., awareness. Becau…
Nonlinguistic Knowledge, Hemispheric Laterality, and the Conservation of Inequality in Nonconserving Children
Nonconserving children may fail to conserve because of difficulties in verbally expressing nonlinguistic knowledge of equivalence relationships. This may be partly due to an inability of the right hemisphere, which mediates the performance of internal reversals and conservation, to communicate with the speaking left hemisphere because of the immaturity of the corpus callosum. This relationship presumably results in the asymmetrical activation of …
