| SIC5034 | Hierarchical Linear Modeling | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | 2-8 | Convergence for Social Innovation | English | Yes |
| The purpose of this course is to develop the skills necessary to identify an appropriate technique, estimate models, and interpret results for independent research and to critically evaluate contemporary social research using hierarchical linear modeling. Social research focuses on issues that examine the relationship between individuals and the social contexts in which they work, live, or learn. This involves multilevel research, which investigates individuals within groups. In multilevel research, the nature of the data structure is hierarchical. For example, in educational research, the data typically consists of schools and pupils within these schools. In this example, pupils are nested within schools. When analyzing multilevel data, we need special statistical skills and techniques, because single-level analysis of multilevel data brings about misleading standard errors and significance tests. The hiearchical linear modeling addresses this issue, accurately dealing with a hierarchical data set, often individuals within groups. This course will be applied in the sense that we will focus on estimating models and interpreting the results, rather than understanding in detail the mathematics behind the techniques. | |||||||||
| SIC5035 | Multivariate Regression Analysis | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | 1-8 | Convergence for Social Innovation | Korean | Yes |
| Introduction to data analysis via linear models. Topics include basic assumptions of the linear model, methods for transforming data, estimation and interpretation of the classical linear model, derivations of the estimators of interest, and diagnostics of results and/or potential fixes for violations of assumptions. This course lays the foundations for more advanced statistical modeling techniques used in data science and academic research. | |||||||||
| SIC5038 | Longitudinal Categorical Data Analysis | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | 1-8 | Convergence for Social Innovation | Korean | Yes |
| This course will cover the foundations of longitudinal categorical data. Upon successful completing of this course, students will be able to (a) understand the types of hypotheses and research questions for which categorical data analytical produces are used, (b) perform number of cross sectional and longitudinal analytical procedures including regression with binary, ordinal, and multinomial outcomes, survival analysis, (first- and second-order) growth curve modeling with categorical data, and (c) read and evaluate research articles regarding testing of for which cross-sectional and longitudinal categorical data analytcial procedures are used. The course topics are as follows: Review of basic regression model. Introduction to Logistic and Profit Regression. Introduction to Count Data. Introduction to Latent Growth Model. Latent Class (Transition) Model. Growth Mixture Model with categorical data. Introduction to Survival Analysis. | |||||||||

The goal of this course is to give students a comprehensive understanding of social economy. To this end, this course deals with the following topics. Part 1 looks at the meaning and necessity of the social economy, as well as its history in order to materialize the concept of the social economy. Part 2 deals with theories related to social economy. Approaches of livelihood security systems, various discussions on welfare mix and welfare pluralism, the dilemma of collective action and its solutions, civic participation and social capital, and expansion of the concept of publicity. Through this part, students will have an opportunity to have an analytical and theoretical view of the social economy. Part 3 of this course deals with the reality of social economy from a comparative perspective through various social economy organizations such as cooperatives, social enterprises, village enterprises, and non-profit organizations. | |||||||||
| SWF4009 | Practice and Policy Interfaces | 3 | 6 | Major | Bachelor/Master | - | No | ||
| Social workers work with clients to promote their change and growth, but the time they can spend with clients, the provision of professional intervention, and resources are supported and limited by policies, laws, institutions, delivery systems and agency regulations. This course aims to develop capabilities to analyze dynamic issues arising from professional intervention in practice by social workers based on specific issues at social welfare sites and actual intervention cases. Furthermore, in order to strengthen and exercise the capacity of social workers, we will seek alternative bases on philosophical, theoretical and institutional levels to identify specific points that need to be improved and improve them. Through this, students will critically review and redefine the role and identity of social welfare workers as professionals with the eyes of future generations. | |||||||||
| SWF4010 | Trauma and Recovery | 3 | 6 | Major | Bachelor/Master | 1-4 | Korean | Yes | |
| Social workers often meet clients with various past and ongoing traumatic experiences. This course aims to understand trauma and learn how to intervene in social work. Specifically, we will first deal with philosophical and theoretical discussions on the concept of trauma and recovery, and try to reinterpret current discussions from the perspective fo social welfare. Next, to understand the effects of trauma, we will learn explanatory theories, symptoms, and evaluation methods. Finally, students will acquire the basic principles of intervention and a few representative approaches through various educational methods. | |||||||||
