摘要
在过去的二十年中,结构方程建模(SEM)技术在社会工作中的应用有所增加。鉴于统计培训现在已成为社会工作博士教育的一部分,因此我们进行了一次系统的回顾,以了解SEM在社会工作研究中的应用程度。在我们的综述中,我们使用了PRISMA方法并依赖于Web of Knowledge数据库。2012年3月至2017年12月期间发表的社会工作文章被纳入审查。我们总共纳入了466项使用SEM方法的研究,这些研究发表在44份社会工作期刊上。据我们所知,这是最新的综述,总结了社会工作期刊上发表的研究利用扫描电镜的程度。由于SEM优于标准回归方法,其使用的增加表明数据分析方法在社会工作研究传播中的先进应用。对社会工作研究和教育的进一步影响进行了讨论。具体来说,我们讨论社会工作博士课程在装备学生有效地利用扫描电镜技术的研究中的作用。
Utility of Structural Equation Modeling in Social Work Research: A Call to Strengthen Doctoral Education
ABSTRACT The use of structural equation modeling (SEM) techniques in social work has increased over the last two decades. We therefore conducted a systematic review to understand the extent to which SEM is utilized in social work research, given that statistical training is now becoming a part of social work doctoral education. For our review, we utilized the PRISMA method and relied on the Web of Knowledge database. Social work articles published between March 2012 to December 2017 were included in the review. In total, we included 466 studies using SEM methods that were published across 44 social work journals. To our knowledge, this is the most up-to-date review that summarizes the extent to which research published in journals of social work utilizes SEM. Owing to the strengths of SEM over standard regression methods, its increased use demonstrates advanced application of data analysis methods in the dissemination of social work research. Further implications for social work research and education are discussed. Specifically, we discuss the role of social work doctoral programs in equipping students to efficiently utilize SEM techniques in research.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Teaching in Social Work fills a long-standing gap in the social work literature by providing opportunities for creative and able teachers—in schools, agency-based training programs, and direct practice—to share with their colleagues what experience and systematic study has taught them about successful teaching. Through articles focusing on the teacher, the teaching process, and new contexts of teaching, the journal is an essential forum for teaching and learning processes and the factors affecting their quality. The journal recognizes that all social work practitioners who wish to teach (whatever their specialty) should know the philosophies of teaching and learning as well as educational methods and techniques.
