Abstract
The Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) makes it clear that accredited programs should be graduating students with the capacity to “engage in practice informed research and research informed practice.” However, this aspiration comes with few instructions, which has led to a number of concerning outcomes about the effectiveness and efficacy of research instruction. Therefore, a more thoughtful and detailed framework is needed to adequately address the current shortcomings with research instruction. This article proposes a competency-based approach to research instruction that helps to more effectively determine and develop the specific knowledge and skills needed at each educational level, and in turn, better prepare students for impactful social work practice.
