A Supervisão de Estágio como Atividade Constitutiva do Trabalho do Assistente Social

Abstract

The present thesis presents the research and analysis of the content of bibliographic productions on Supervision of internship in Social Work. This was carried out based on three axes of reflection that are articulated among themselves, which are: The understanding of the place of Supervision in the formation and professional performance; The understanding of the professional practice that underpins the debate on supervision and the approach to internship supervision and the relationship with the principles of the ABEPSS Curriculum Guidelines of 1996. To that end, we have analyzed books, book chapters that dealt with the theme of supervising internship in Social Service in the history of the profession; articles from scientific journals with the theme Supervision of internship in Social Work since and doctoral theses from the period 1996 to 2016. From a theoretical approach on the on the category of work and its determinations in capitalist society in the sphere of production and reproduction social integration, the insertion of the services sector, the work in the sphere of Social Services and Social Work in the social division of labor, deals with the tendency of institutionalization and insertion of the assistant's work in the field of collective work in the scope of public policies. The curricula of Social Work and professional training in the context of contemporary higher education were analyzed with the purpose of presenting the historical aspects, the impacts on the professional formation of the social worker in the Brazilian society, the progress achieved with the insertion of the debate of the work category and work process in their academic proposal and to promote the understanding about the place that has been presenting the debate about work in the professional training of social worker. The theme Supervision of Internship in Social Work is approached as an activity that integrates training and professional work, presenting a critical analysis about its theoretical production, establishing a direct relationship between the 1996 ABEPSS Curricular Guidelines, its principles and the limits placed on its materialization. Through bibliographical review and the documentary analysis on the subject of Supervision of Internship in Social Work, the results found demonstrate a growth of bibliographical productions from 2008, however, it is perceived the need for a greater appropriation of its meaning for the overcoming the dichotomy still present in the profession between training and professional practice of the social worker. And although the Supervision of Internship in Social Work is established as an activity that integrates the training and professional practice of the social worker in the basic documents of the profession, the professional category lacks better appropriation for the production of knowledge and, although there is an increase in the number of theoretical productions on Supervision of traineeship in Social Work, a significant insufficiency of this production persists, mainly as regards the articulation between Supervision of internship in Social Work, work and Social policies.
