Professional social work is based on .................... .

  • A.Assumptive knowledge only
  • B.Assumptive knowledge and hypothetical knowledge only
  • C.Hypothetical knowledge and tested knowledge only
  • D.Assumptive knowledge, hypothetical knowledge and tested knowledge

Answer: D

Professional social work is based on assumptive knowledge, hypothetical knowledge and tested knowledge.

The classic description of social work's knowledge base distinguishes three kinds: tested knowledge, verified by research; hypothetical knowledge, propositions still being tested; and assumptive knowledge, the practice wisdom of experienced workers. All three inform professional practice, because research has not yet answered every question a worker faces.

The other options each leave out one or more of the three kinds, and the words 'only' make them incomplete accounts of the knowledge base.
