METHODS AND TECHNIQUES OF THE SOCIAL WORK I

(Annunziata Bartolomei)

The course aims to deepen the professional discipline from the basic concepts and the specific nomenclature and to decline the theoretical references in relation to the practice and the professional methodology in relation to the social worker's principal stakeholders: the individual and the family context, the referential community context and its combinations, the public organizations, the tertiary sector's agencies and the voluntary organizations.

The aim is to arouse students' knowledge and analysis tools that will enable them to integrate theoretical knowledge with practical knowledge, in order to obtain an ongoing training and an empirical learning.

TOPICS:
-professional social work: concepts and definition.
-social worker's commitment and responsibilities:
-social complexity and integration and inclusion processes,
-individual\social needs and personal / community / institutional resources.
--the social worker between theory and practice models of social work
- theoretical references and operative opportunity in social work.
- the methodological process: from planning logic to methodological structure.

The plan also provides checks on intermediate processes of learning, through classroom discussions and any written assignments that will contribute to the formulation of the final evaluation.
The exam will be oral
