Formação de 1º Ciclo em Serviço Social após adequação ao Processo de Bolonha em Portugal

Esta dissertação elaborada no âmbito do V Curso de Mestrado em Serviço Social da Escola Superior de Altos Estudos do Instituto Superior Miguel Torga, intitulada por “Formação de 1.º ciclo em Serviço Social após adequação ao Processo de Bolonha em Portugal” tem como principal objectivo analisar a formação académica em Serviço Social no 1.º Ciclo após o Processo de Bolonha em Portugal, nomeadamente a análise dos planos de estudos das Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES) com curso de Serviço Social, de natureza pública (universitário e politécnico), particular e cooperativa (universitário e politécnico) e concordatário. Os objectivos específicos desta investigação prendem-se com a identificação das posições tomadas por algumas organizações relativamente à adopção das orientações do Processo de Bolonha para a formação em Serviço Social, com o levantamento das Instituições de Ensino Superior com formação no 1.º Ciclo de Serviço Social em Portugal que efectuaram registo de adequação ao Processo de Bolonha, com a análise dos objectivos e saídas profissionais dos cursos de 1.º ciclo e com a análise dos planos de estudo na área cientifica de Serviço Social (componentes) e noutras áreas cientificas. Para atingir os objectivos partiu-se do pressuposto de que as vinte instituições que possuem o 1.º ciclo em Serviço Social iriam colaborar nesta investigação cedendo um conjunto de documentos solicitados. Tratando-se de uma pesquisa, recorreu-se a uma estratégia metodológica sobretudo de análise qualitativa (pesquisa bibliográfica e documental) e quantitativa (extensiva), na medida que se procurou abranger a totalidade dos cursos de 1.º ciclo em Serviço Social no país. Verificou-se que todo o processo de reestruturação dos cursos para adequação a Bolonha foi realizado sem directrizes comuns para a definição dos planos de estudos e neste sentido cada IES teve ampla autonomia para a adequação a Bolonha. Partindo da construção de uma matriz teórica e de um documento de referência para a formação académica em Serviço Social das organizações internacionais da profissão, verificou-se a existência de várias lacunas nos planos de estudo analisados. Neste sentido, um dos aspectos conclusivos desta investigação, prende-se com a necessidade de criação de formas de regulamentação da formação em Serviço Social, como por exemplo a criação de padrões comuns para os cursos de 1.º ciclo em Serviço Social.

As Novas Tecnologias como Componente da Formação, de 1º ciclo, em Serviço Social

Esta Dissertação surge no âmbito do V Curso de Mestrado em Serviço Social do Instituto Superior Miguel Torga, em Coimbra. É seu objecto de estudo, a análise das Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação (T.I.C.) como componente da formação, de 1º ciclo, dos Assistentes Sociais. Os objectivos desta investigação prendem-se com a compreensão do posicionamento do Serviço Social (S.S.) na sua relação com as T.I.C., característica da Sociedade Contemporânea; com a reflexão sobre as tendências das Políticas Educativas no que se refere à apropriação das Novas Tecnologias no contexto do Ensino Superior e com o aprofundamento sobre a forma como a formação, de 1º ciclo, em Serviço Social, equaciona as T.I.C. como componente integrante dos seus Planos de Estudo. Para atingir estes objectivos, desenvolveu-se uma metodologia quantitativa e qualitativa de análise de dados recolhidos a partir dos planos de estudo das diferentes Instituições de Ensino Superior (I.E.S.) que leccionam o curso de Serviço Social, seleccionando, para o efeito, as Unidades Curriculares (U.C.) que fazem referências às Novas Tecnologias e as que fazem a articulação entre estas e o S.S. Utilizou-se ainda uma entrevista semi-directiva realizada à docente da U.C. “Serviço Social e Novas Tecnologias” do ISMT e a análise de documentos disponibilizados por algumas das IES que leccionam este curso. Após esta análise, chegou-se à conclusão que as Novas Tecnologias não ocupam lugar de destaque nos planos de estudo dos cursos, de 1º Ciclo, de Serviço Social. Na verdade, é proporcionado aos alunos, um contacto incipiente com as T.I.C. através de U.C. que permitem o uso da informática em diferentes contextos. Mas, excepção feita a uma minoria de I.E.S., não existe ainda uma preocupação efectiva com a necessidade de preparar os alunos e futuros Assistentes Sociais para a possibilidade de uso crítico e reflectido das T.I.C. como seu instrumento de trabalho. Não esquecendo que este uso não é a solução para os problemas éticos e técnicos da profissão, o seu uso crítico e consciente e contacto permanente, a partir da formação, constituirá uma mais-valia no contexto de ajustamento dos métodos de trabalho do Assistente Social à Sociedade no qual se insere.

Desatando os NÓS: uma experiência do Serviço Social na área da Educação e da Cultura

Esta pesquisa aborda a aproximação entre Serviço Social e Educação, tendo como viés diretivo a cultura. Focaliza a relação entre as áreas a partir de um estudo de caso, cuja intervenção ocorreu por meio de um Projeto de extensão universitária – Projeto de Extensão Educação Pública e Serviço Social (PEEPSS) – oferecido sob a coordenação de um professor pioneiro nesta discussão no âmbito da Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (UERJ). Este trabalho se situa com olhar em um subprojeto do PEEPSS – Educação, Cultura, Universidade e Serviço Social (ECUSS) – mais especificamente em um trabalho realizado com a ONG Nós do Cinema (NDC). Por ser também um campo de estágio supervisionado aos graduandos em Serviço Social da UERJ, a metodologia utilizada neste trabalho priorizou a análise do discurso de alguns relatórios de estágio, seguida de entrevistas ao coordenador do projeto, bem como aos mesmos supervisionados que tiveram seus documentos de estágio analisados. A pesquisa apresenta elementos de interseção entre as áreas mencionadas, procurando discutir sobre a formação profissional para tal abordagem cultural, assim como o debate acerca dos campos de prática na área da Educação e da Cultura para o assistente social.

A Relação formação profissional / Mercado de Trabalho: percepção dos assistentes sociais não-inseridos no mercado de trabalho do Serviço Social em Natal/RN

The study is about the non-insertion of the Social Assistant in the work market of Natal/RN, emphasizing the perception those Social Assistants have about this problem. We try to analyze the relation that those workers figure out about their non-insertion in the work market and their professional formation. The problem is related to the present unemployment rates in our society, which results of the changes that have affected the world of work as a whole in the wake of the Productive Restructuring and State Reformation supported by the neo-liberalism ideological system. We realize that these factors have deeply affected the configurations of the work market in general; especially those related to professions whose challenges multiply obstacles not only to the insertion of new workers, but to their staying in their job. We note that the reality of the work market has been built up on the decrease of the work force opportunities and the increase of the selectivity criteria to insertion of new workers. In consequence, unemployment rates increase everywhere, regardless of place, profession or education level of the workers. Work and management changes have brought about new challenges to professional formation. The presence of neo-liberalism productive and market logic demands a more adequate professional formation to work market from their candidates to a job. Due to the numberless difficulties workers face nowadays to enter the world of work, society itself and workers in general begin to question the profession of their choice, the kind of formation they have got, and frequently they lay the blame of their professional difficulties on it. This result has come out from the research we did with some social assistants not inserted in the professional work market in Natal/RN. The research reveals too that those unemployed professionals see their difficulties connected to their professional formation and they happen to say that the main challenge they face today is to get acknowledgment to the significance and importance of their profession

A política de assistência estudantil no contexto de expansão do ensino superior: as particularidades do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Serviço Social da UFRN

A dissertação versa sobre a Política de Assistência Estudantil e o processo de luta pela democratização do acesso à universidade, no contexto de expansão do ensino superior em tempos de crise estrutural do capital. Apresenta como unidade de análise as particularidades da pós-graduação em Serviço Social da UFRN e tem como objetivo principal apreender e analisar as condições de permanência disponibilizadas pela UFRN aos discentes de pós-graduação no contexto de expansão do Ensino Superior. O percurso teórico-metodológico de análise adotado na pesquisa se fundamentou numa perspectiva crítica do objeto de estudo a partir de uma concepção de totalidade, que pressupõe apreender as determinações socioeconômicas e políticas que incidem sobre a política de ensino superior e as condições de vida dos discentes do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Serviço Social (PPGSS). As análises fundamentaram-se em pesquisa bibliográfica como base teórico-metodológica da investigação, articulada com as reflexões que resultaram dos dados empíricos da pesquisa de campo na perspectiva de apreensão do objeto, em sua densidade histórica e num quadro de múltiplas determinações. Do ponto de vista metodológico foram entrevistados 26 discentes e realizada análise documental referentes a leis e documentos da política educacional em nível federal e dos organismos internacionais. A luta por ampliação do acesso à universidade está na agenda dos movimentos sociais no âmbito da educação, no entanto na conjuntura dos governos de Luis Inácio Lula da Silva (2003 a 2010) e Dilma Rousseff (2011 a 2012) a tendência tem sido seguir as orientações dos organismos internacionais e promover expansão de vagas sem assegurar estratégias de permanência compatíveis com as exigências de excelência acadêmica postas, por exemplo, na pós-graduação. Discentes entrevistados acessam o ensino superior e os cursos de pós-graduação e vivenciam dificuldades diárias para atender com qualidade às exigências acadêmicas em face de suas condições materiais de vida e de trabalho e dos limites da política de assistência estudantil que tem um perfil de programas e ações localizadas

Atribuições privativas do Serviço Social sob um novo enfoque analítico

Apesar de ser a primeira profissão da área social a conquistar regulamentação federal no Brasil, o Serviço Social, ainda hoje, encontra dificuldades na definição das suas competências e, principalmente, das suas atribuições privativas. A partir da análise da Lei 8662/93, bem como do processo legislativo que culminou na sua aprovação no Congresso Nacional, esse trabalho dissertativo busca desvelar, fundamentado nos pressupostos teóricos da sociologia das profissões, as conexões existentes entre a estrutura legal da profissão e a indefinição das tarefas específicas dos assistentes sociais, estas já sinalizadas por pesquisas da área e pelo CFESS. Para alcançar os objetivos propostos, também são analisadas e contrapostas as produções de importantes autores do Serviço Social que se dedicaram a refletir sobre os temas relacionados à legislação profissional e ao significado social da profissão, o que aponta para a construção de mais incertezas do que elucidações sobre o assunto.

Serviço Social e terceiro setor: considerações sobre as atuais relações e condições de trabalho para o Assistente Social em Natal

The present study analyses the actual relations and work conditions found in the third sector in Natal city, in the context of productive restoration and increasingly retraction from the State in providing Social Service before the new approach that has been destined to the social issue. The study talks about the work of the social worker when fighting the different expressions the social issue has, such as social service provision as a way of teamwork associated to work relations and conditions, to accessible resources and quality control management. These are elements that affect and interfere in the accomplishment and in the work of the social worker itself. The State s improvement, according to neoliberal-political precepts and increasingly retraction from the public investment in the areas of social concern (health, social welfare, assistance) and in the wage and employment policy, besides expanding the partnership with the public and private areas, in search for social services with quality, it has diversified the structures of the professional work with the growth of the so called third sector institutions. However, the absorption of the social workers by the third sector groups in general, has as major features the impoverishment of work relations, the maintenance of an unequal salary model, pointing out the deadline contracts and/or single tasks that generate work instability. The research debates, with a critical view and full perspective, over the conception of the third sector, interpreted as an action that expresses functions and values, treated as a real phenomenon generated from the restoration of the capital based on neoliberal principles. This study aims for responding what the established work relations are and under what work conditions the social worker has been fitting in the third sector and how such a reality echoes in the current work conditions for a social work in the city of Natal, before this new model of state intervention that transfers part of the social service provision to distinctive divisions of society, among them the so called third sector. The research results have shown that like the other workers the social worker passes through the same crises, dilemmas, advances and challenges that occur in the world of employment and which are expressed in the drop of salary average in the growth of contemporary contracts, unemployment, and in the ever more selective requirements to one be included in the social spaces, where the professional work is done, having as a result a greater impoverishment of work relations and conditions as well as more vulnerability as a salaried occupation

The present study deals with the exercise of professional social workers in private health care plans registered with the Regional Council of Medicine/RN, in the city of Natal/RN, with regards to the demands/tasks, work conditions, and the professional response, given the climate of restructuring the capital. The set of socio-historical transformations, as a results of the dynamic capitalist, is a process of new configurations in relation to state and society that interfere directly in relation to working conditions, social rights historically won by workers. In this context, the operator of health plans arises as a possibilities to provide services in health, through the logic of the market, in which the subjects of law, become consumers contributing to the displacement of the responsibilities of the State. Obligating workers to lessen the burden with the reproduction of their workforce. This involves changing societal context for social service, since it is one of the professions that are active in terms of the immediate social issue, and come as part of the collective worker. From qualitative research based on a theoretical and methodological perspective and critical dialectics, it was possible to unveil some features and trends of the exercise of(a) social operators in private health care plans. The survey results indicated that : a) the demands and duties for certain social service, are associated with the redevelopment of the capital, whose requirements and responsibilities professionals have with their needs, particularly the guarantee of profit, services rendered; b) in the conditions of work there is a trend of insecurity uncertainty and dismantling of professionals; c) the answers professionals suffer the limits and contradictions present in the daily training, mainly depending one the characteristics of management and operation of the operators, which has professional relative autonomy

Instrumentalidade do serviço social: dimensões teórico-metodológica, ético-política e técnico-operativa e exercício profissional

The dissertation proposes a discussion about the instrumentality of the Social Work, in the attempt of visualizing her, as well as the profession, in a totality perspective to the light of the rationality critical-dialetical. Understood as the capacity that the professional subjects acquire of giving answers to the demands that are placed to the profession, itself built partner-historically, in a teleologys conflicts and causalitys. So, it is proposed the discussion of the instrumentality while a group of you know specific, composed essentially by the development of three practical-formative dimensions. The theoretical-methodological refers to the capacity of apprehension of the method and of the theories and, consequently, of the relationship that does with the practice. The dimension ethical-politics concerns the development of the capacity of analyzing the society and the own profession as field of contradictory forces, being considered the character eminently political of the professional exercise, as well as the professional's conscience concerning the social direction that prints in your intervention. And the technician-operative dimension refers more strictly to the technical elements and you score for the development of the intervention. It was looked for to evidence as those dimensions they attend in the professional exercise, starting from the experience lived by the social workers of the Social Attendance Reference Centers, in Natal/RN

Movimento estudantil e serviço social no capitalismo contemporâneo: tendências e particularidades

This dissertation aims to analyze the social direction in which the Student Movement in Social Work in Brazil (ENESSO) has gone through. This is done considering how the functioning of the National Executive, the Brazilian Social Work Student union has operated. The research analyzed their political position regarding the university as well as professional education in the period of 2003 to 2008. The study s theoretical and methodological object was obtained according to its structural, juncture, and time determinants. All of the mentioned elements considered the contemporary capital crisis and its implications towards the State and Society emphasizing specifically the changes that occurred in the University regarding professional education. For the purpose of data collection and production, a documental and field research was realized. Thus, interviews were done considering one manager of each management period of the ENESSO group in the time span of 2003 to 2008. Some subjects that represented the Brazilian Social Work Teaching and Research Association (ABEPSS) as well as were also interviewed. These subjects have had a relevant role in partnership with these entities and represented students in the contemporary scene. Results suggest that ENESSO has developed work that defends a project of a public, free and laic quality university. This entity also defends a project that considers the 1996 Curricular Guidelines. Currently, there is internal dispute in the social direction of the MESS, this is seen amongst political groups that diverge in opinions related to the analysis done by the Lula government regarding the political role that the National Student Union-UNE has taken in the counter-reform of higher education. This current juncture is seen as extremely individualist and it results as in unfavorable for the collective organization of the working class, especially regarding student movement. MESS has been going through a moment of profound instability and this dimension is being expressed by the absence of national coordinator for the 2008/2009 management period at ENESSO. Even though there are difficulties, it is possible to point out partnership of the entities that represent the national Social Work in Brazil. These partnerships are all related to a struggle and search for the development of a professional project that leads towards the sociability awareness that goes beyond capital.

Serviço Social e Política: uma análise da participação dos assistentes sociais no Conselho Regional de Serviço Social 14ª região

This paper analyzes the political participation of Social Workers at the Social Service Regional Council Region 14th. The theoretical and methodological framework of this investigation has as its perspective the totality of social life and its determining relations within the object of study. To the production, analysis and collecting of data it was used a qualitative approach considering a bibliographical and documental research as well as a series of twelve interviews with 2005-2008 and 2008-2011 managing counselors of CRESS/RN. It was also used the data obtained from other special interviews held with the social workers in the period between 2007 and 2008. The results of this study allow and affirm the political dimension of Caseworkers and the CRESS/RN as a space of political activity with opportunities for effective and collective elaboration of strategies in order to reach the fulfillment of the ethical and professional policy of the Social Work. From a historical viewpoint, the beginning of this process is marked by the struggle for democracy, the end of military dictatorship, the establishment of the State of Human Rights. The Democratization of the so called Federal Council of Social Workers and its Regional Councils of Social Workers, CFAS / CRAS, respectively, area a result of the participation of the category in an effort to fight for democratization in Brazil. The objective of this research, so, is to understand which the socio-historical determinants are, that focus objectively and subjectively in the demobilization of social workers in CRESS Region 14th - in the contemporary and historical context. Among the results obtained we identified the ignorance of some professional workers and also of some advisors, regarding the existence and the role of the Council, as well as the commercialization of Education that compromises the quality of the professional training in its theoretical and methodological, ethical and political dimensions. According to our understanding, this shows a the presence of a non-critical professional profile based on a false reality, on the precariousness of employment contracts which undermine the political organization and submit the worker to various social exploring mechanisms such as double shift and ultimately the fragility of the management of the Regional Council -, as a consequence of the offensive capitalist system that ideologically invests to stop the political organization founded in a critical and democratic perspective. The low participation of some advisors and, in general, the category in CRESS / RN, despite its objective conditions, is a reality and it is presented to us as a challenge to future managements and policy consolidation to society. Inasmuch as the category intends to guarantee the high quality of its social workers, the demands of future counselors, their skills and abilities in dealing with regulatory issues, administrative policies that pervade the everyday life of CRESS / RN are necessary

O serviço social na previdência social: a afirmação do seu espaço na materialização dos direitos

The work of the professional of social worker in social security policy, it is seen wrapped in an adverse situation to consolidate the ethical-political project work, marked by the materialization of the neoliberal policy essentially promotes the reduction of social rights historically achieved by the class struggle worker. In this sense, with the aim of analyzing the statement of work of the Social Worker in Social Security, their struggles and challenges to the realization of rights, against the current situation is that it renders the theoretical basis of the discussions to be fought. Thus, we performed procedures such as methodological research literature and documents in detail of our analytical categories in order to base the discussion on social security policy. The survey area covered was the Executive Management of Social Security Mossoró and Natal, representing a total of 07 (seven) surveyed social workers who work in the Department of Social Work. Thus, the research allowed us a comparison with the work of Social Workers and this allowed us to reach some conclusions: first, the fact that Social Security does not guarantee in its entirety, the conditions necessary for the work of Social Worker, taking into account the lack of human and material resources for its realization, and the virtual absence of professional secrecy, and second, that the social workers surveyed say the ethical-political project of Social Work, in exercise professional from engaging in projects and social movements related to the protection of social rights and working class, thirdly, that the statement of professional design, contributes to the formation of a new professional activities, based on an analysis of whole and an action more interventionist, critical and purposeful, able to relate to the interests of users who seek their services, the consolidation and socialization of social rights. Thus, the direction of the work of professional of social worker to support the theoretical and methodological maturity in recent years acquired the expertise and ethical-political daily, consolidated its space in claiming social security institution, the rights so hard fought in an environment grounded in the disintegration social struggles
