Abstract

The present study arose from professional questions related to the need for updating and development to qualify my performance. Everyday reality highlighted the importance of critically reflecting on the profession and the use of instruments in professional practice, choosing the production of knowledge in the area of Social Service regarding the technical-operative dimension as the research object. The empirical material analyzed consists of articles published in seven scientific journals (Qualis/Capes A1 and A2) and reference collections in the area of Social Service, in the period 2019-2024, in addition to five articles presented at CBAS and ENPESS 2022. The analysis delves deeper into articles that promote substantive mediation between the planning, instruments and project of the profession. Among the main findings, a group of academically qualified authors stands out: of the 261 authors analyzed, 154 are doctors, 17 post-doctors and 54 masters, which demonstrates that the production of knowledge on the technical-operative dimension comes predominantly from researchers linked to academia. Regarding the relationship between practice planning, use of instruments and Professional Ethical-Political Project, 56 articles were identified that address this connection in a substantive way. These data highlight the need to intensify the production of knowledge that problematizes daily professional life from a critical perspective.
