Conceptual and Practical Research and Statistics for Social Workers by Francis K. O. Yuen prepares students to intuitively theorize and utilize research and statistics within their social work practice. The book contains several pedagogical features to facilitate learning and improve the student experience.

The book features two main sections, Research and Statistics, and its organization reflects the basic research process.

Its sections and chapters are logically connected. Following the cognitive mapping approach (i.e., Figure 1.1), students are able to easily gauge where they are in the learning of the research process and the competencies they have acquired.

Highlight Boxes provide emphasis and detail for important concepts and techniques covered throughout the book.

Conclusions at the end of each chapter summarize key concepts and encourage student understanding and retention.

Tables and Figures provide learners with useful frameworks that they can use to locate their studies within the contexts of research and statistics in social work. They also highlight readers’ progressive competency and learning in different aspects of research and statistics.
