Research Activity # 1: Framing the Social Problem & ASWB Licensing Process (5-points)
For this research activity assignment, I am asking you to think critically about the overt and covert social issues related to systemic disparities in social work professional licensing process. Stated more generally, why is it a problem that some people are statistically less likely to pass the standardized licensure process? Stated again, why would it be an issue that test-taker demographics predict pass rates, and not professional competency? For this activity, you will need to: (1) Read all materials in the module and then review the PowerPoint and recorded lecture; and (2) Complete the chart below, worth 5-points and then submit this document as a file upload in Canvas by the due date.
