The investigative dimension in the training and professional practice of social workers

Abstract

This article aims to carry out an analysis of the importance of the investigative dimension in the training and professional practice of Social Work professionals. In this way, we carried out a critical analysis, based on available bibliographical references in the area, on the investigative process as a relevant mechanism for a professional practice capable of responding to the problems that exist in everyday life and, above all, in the social relations in which these professionals work. Given the above, it is necessary for professionals to articulate the organizational, academic and legal dimensions that support this project with the reality of everyday work, in other words, the professional must have the ability to master theoretical-methodological, ethical-political issues and technical-operative. allowing the professional to face the situations they face in their daily lives, clearly viewing corporate projects, their class bonds and their own work process.
