Continue reviewing the chapters as you work on the article critique assignments for Weeks 9 and 10. A lot of material has been covered in the course and it is time to begin pulling it all together. What is important is to learn about writing a proposal, developing a research question, and completing a literature review. You cannot conduct research without a literature review to support your development and process of the study. The assignments are guiding you as you continue developing a preliminary proposal. You are expected to demonstrate an understanding of the material as you continue to learn. It is important that you are able to complete a preliminary proposal for a research study. 
 This week the focus is on learning about Qualitative studies. Qualitative studies are relative because they focus on the lived experience of the participants and offer various ways in which to collect the data necessary for the study. It focuses on the how and why of a phenomenon. Next week you will learn about quantitative studies which focuses on how many and how much looking at causative relationships using hypothesis and collecting data.
If you are proposing a qualitative study, it is important to find journal articles that to support your paper. Make sure you find articles that will work for your proposal. 
(My paper is on Child Welfare and protection. I will be using the Mixed Methods design by targeting parents, children, child welfare programs and policy makers. This will be to gather data about how children are even ending up in child welfare, what is making them at risk to be taken away from their parents. The design I choose to focus on is the quantitative method for my study, I would consider survey based research design. )
Be sure to find a peer reviewed journal article to critique for my final paper. This is all preparing me to write a final paper I will attach the last article here so you don’t use that one.
This assignment must be typed double-spaced, using well-organized paragraphs. Use a minimum of two full pages (no more that 3 full pages). Use the APA format when referencing external sources and include a reference page.

Find two professional organizations that serve human services professionals. Links to two of the main human services professional organizations are provided in the resources for this module.

Find out how much it costs to join the organization as a student and what benefits the organization offers for students (e.g., scholarships). Write one paragraph about each organization. Why would you join or not join these organizations?

Select one client-facing role that is used by human services professionals within the organization you selected for your final project. Then, create a post that names the role, explains the different responsibilities of the profession, and provides examples of how this role relates to the steps of the larger helping process used.

In Chapter 7 of your textbook and in the overview, you began to explore the helping process. Consider a time when you helped a friend or family member.

In the final assignment, you will apply what you learned about the history of the human services field and about current trends, theory, ethics, the helping process, roles, and the variety of settings in which human services professionals are employed.
The project is supported by four formative milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Two, Four, Five, and Six. The final submission will be due in Module Seven.

Milestones
Milestone One: Human Services Organization Identification
In Module Two, you will select one agency in which you would like to be employed and write a one-page overview describing the agency, your interest in it, and the different roles and positions the agency maintains. You will focus on this agency throughout the rest of the agency exploration assignment. 
Milestone Two: Human Services Timeline Discussion
In Module Four, you will reflect on the history of the human services field and the history of your chosen organization through a discussion. You will make a post that identifies the founding of your selected organization and highlights an important event or news story that has impacted the human services field. 
For this assignment, you will post in the Human Services Timeline Discussion. Your post should do two things. First, it should note the founding of the organization you chose for the final project and include a few sentences explaining who established it, why is was established, and the mission of the organization. Second, it should describe one event in human services history (at the state, national, or international level) that relates to your agency (e.g., a new law or policy, a historical event). This milestone is to help you to discuss similarities and differences between the history of the agency you chose and the history of the human services field.
