Abstract
This article describes a course designed to help undergraduate social work students integrate the brain's imaginative and logical thinking processes. The educational purpose of this approach was to help students learn how to carry out developmental research, a highly regarded but seldom practiced variant of social work research. The need for developmental research as a method for creating new social work technology has been identified by Thomas and Rothman, and indeed, the elaboration of strategies for teaching developmental research could be looked upon as social-technological developments in their own right.
