Università Roma Tre

The course aims to deepen the professional discipline starting from the basic concepts and the specific nomenclature and to decline the theoretical references in relation to the operating practice and the methodological framework of the profession, in relation to the main interlocutors of the social worker: the individual and the family context, the community context of reference and its aggregations, public organizations, tertiary sector agencies and volunteering.
The goal is to arouse in students knowledge and analysis tools that allow them to integrate their theoretical knowledge with the training experience of the internship.
TOPICS
- Professional social service: definitions and concepts
- Duties and responsibilities of the social worker:
- social complexity and integration and inclusion processes,
- individual-social needs and personal-community-institutional resources
- Social worker between theory and practice: reflexivity in the perspective of continuous
training and learning from experience.
- Theoretical references and operational perspectives in the social service: the theoretical
operating models of the social service.
- The help process: from the projecting logic to the methodological system (context,
procedure, techniques and tools).
Teaching methodology and learning checks
The course includes some lectures aimed at the theoretical presentation of the contents and the use of the active methodology in experiential exercises on the theoretical and methodological contents, to develop reflective skills and tools for the conceptualization of the experience. Also, during the lessons, intermediate learning assessment are foreseen, through exercises, classroom discussions and eventual written assignments that may be included during formulation of the final evaluation.
