Sinossi

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The impetus for both movements was the glaring reality of social problems and the question over how to best attack them. This debate is arguably the earliest example of a larger debate within social work - how is knowledge acquired? This debate pits positivism against post-positivism in the pursuit of achieving respect as a profession. The positivistic argument asserts knowledge has to be observable and testable (quantitative), free from bias, and ultimately replicable if it is to have any merit. Post-positivists argue there is no way to completely eliminate bias, and knowledge can be obtained via qualitative research methods. The debate reached its greatest intensity in the 1980s, reflecting the debate within the larger world of the social sciences.
