            The purpose of teaching the discipline is to form in students the culture of organizing the processes of scientific knowledge and understanding of the position of the researcher, necessary for the professional development of a social worker. The course highlights the methodological principles of research in social work, as well as forms students' understanding of science as a social institution, the system of knowledge and technological aspects of research organization. The master of social work must carry out such a type of professional activity as research. To do this, the research work of the master involves the use of different methods of solving research problems, comprehensive analysis, structuring, evaluation of social information, highlighting the main, diagnosis, forecasting, design and modeling of social processes and phenomena in social protection
