Education and formation for acting in the field of social work – the socio-pedagogical point of view

Abstract

The issues related to social work and activities taken in this field of practice have been tackled by extensive literature on the subject and many concepts that make the theoretical reference material for the construction of that practice. In this text, the concept of the socio-pedagogical perspective of the field of social work is presented, which expresses the social dimension of activity in the field of social work. This concept provides a fundamental theoretical reference (framework) for training to work in the field of social work carried out at the Department of Social Pedagogy at the University of Lodz. Education understood in this way is also shaping the acting subject who, throughout the process, acquires values of professionalism.
