A relação entre educação e serviço social: breve análise dos desafios e possibilidades emergentes deste encontro

Abstract

This Bachelor's Thesis (TCC) in Social Work speaks about the relationship between education and Social Work. The research problem raised is: How has the relationship between Social Work and education evolved throughout history, and what are the challenges and possibilities arising from it? The aim is to understand the relationship between Social Work and education at different historical moments, as well as the challenges and possibilities resulting from its insertion into this socio-occupational space. To achieve this, critical social theory was used through the dialectical critical method, with an emphasis on the categories of historicity, totality, and contradiction. In the results and discussions, the goal was initially to identify the historical periods that shaped educational policy and the insertion of Social Work into this process. The intersection of Social Work and education is not recent; since the 1940s, schools have emerged as spaces for social workers' engagement, in response to social, economic, and political transformations. The work of social workers in education is marked by the ongoing struggle for the right to education, and the school, being one of the spaces where the various manifestations of the social issue occur, is undoubtedly one of the privileged workspaces for social workers. The current challenges and possibilities highlighted are: consolidating Law 13.935/2019, which guarantees the presence of social workers and psychologists in schools; making visible the expressions of the social issue; overcoming conservative concepts and practices; mobilizing and ensuring intersectoral work.
