Philosophical Issues in Doctoral Education in Social Work: A Survey of Doctoral Program Directors.
Anastas, Jeane W.; Congress, Elaine P.
Journal of Social Work Education, v35 n1 p143-53 Win 1999
Surveyed 48 social-work doctoral-program directors about the inclusion of philosophical issues in the curriculum. The survey asked about traditional and emergent epistemologies, including heuristics, social constructivism, and other forms of postmodernism. Results suggest that while such content is included in research courses, directors face tensions with inclusion of content on epistemologies other than logical positivism. (Author/MSE)
