Description

Historiography is the method of doing historical research, a potentially powerful tool in a social work historian or qualitative researcher's arsenal. As with other research methods, a historical study in social work must include a problem definition, a hypothesis, definition of the variables, gathering and analyzing historical evidence, and interpretation of the findings, with reliability and validity factored in throughout. This addition to the Pocket Guides to Social Work Research Methods guides doctoral students and researchers in the construction of a historical study, from problem formulation to instrument construction to data collection and analysis.
