Tendências atuais no ensino dos Fundamentos do Serviço Social

Abstract

The article, the result of postdoctoral research, analyzes the teaching of the Fundamentals of Social Work, considering the current trends related to training at the Brazilian level and those expressed in the formative operability within the Academic Training Units. This is a documentary research carried out in the Pedagogical Projects of the selected Courses of the South, Southeast and Midwest. The definition of the sample was based on the demarcation of the oldest presential institution in each region, with a consolidated trajectory in the graduate and postgraduate levels. The results indicate that although the presential formation in Social Work tends to occur in private institutions and concentrated in the Southeast of Brazil, it is clear that the teaching of the Fundamentals is based on the dialectical and ontological character, characteristic of the nature of marxist, with notorious efforts to abandon the trichotomous conception of history, theory, and method.
