1. 1 The question
  1. Why is EBP significant and to who?
    1. policy which influences stance for EBP - Munro (2008)
  2. Ethics
    1. HCPC Standards of Conduct, Performance and Ethics (2012) - conflicts within ethics on this subject?
  3. find position on topic through evaluation and analysis
2. 3 Planning
  1. 1. introduction - why and how the topic has become an ‘object for thought’ and debate relevant to social work. b. The different ways that it is currently framed by academics and policy-makers. Draw out the theoretical perspective that orients each c. The argument you will make in evaluating and synthesising these perspectives d. How you will argue this e. the pratical and ethical stakes for the argument
  2. 2. the different authoritative positions on the issue a. What assumptions are present in the key terms? construct validity of key terms? b. Ensure that your written ‘voice’ does not become lost when summarising other people by using qualifying terms such as ‘convincing’
  3. 3. evaluate the relative validity of these positions. a. What evidence they present, and how strong it is. b. What concepts they use, and how precise and useful these concepts are. c. evidence or policy that points in a new directions beyond the established positions. d. experiences of service-users?
  4. 4. a. synthesise the perspectives and evidence you have considered. draw a conclusion about the key causal factors, and use these to make a direct answer to the question and address the learning outcomes. b. a diagram showing your synthesis of the perspectives and theory c. use this to write a strong introduction
  5. 8. A final point of the plan (which will be the conclusion) should draw out the concrete implications of your position. If you are right, then what? What further research might be helpful on the topic? In the conclusion, also note to the reader (and here you can use ‘I’ rather than ‘this essay’) how the reading you have done on this topic has shifted your ways of approaching things.
3. 2 structure
  1. Plan to make every step of assignment cumalitive
4. 4 Writing
  1. 1. Paragraphs should make a single key point a. 4-8 sentences in each paragraph. b. first sentence should present the central idea and make link to the point made in the previous paragraph c. The next should add to the first idea – presenting evidence or further explanation concerning reasons or mechanisms for processes, d. The paragraph should close with a line to clinch the point, drawing things together and helping your argument flow between the paragraphs.
  2. 5. When you are finished, print off a copy, and read it through aloud with a pen in hand. Look for errors in your writing, but also in the logical flow of your argument. Then make changes to the essay. Next, send the essay to someone to proof-read before you submit it.
  3. 2. Link your account to relevant theory, an explanation which looks at particular cases in the context of wider patterns
  4. 3. When making evidence based arguments, 1) who did the research, 2) what evidence they offer in favour of their conclusion, 3) how this evidence makes a contribution 4) the implications of these findings for your argument
  5. 4. The more analytical you can be throughout the higher the marks you will achieve.
