Formação profissional da/o assistente social: um estudo das disciplinas de gênero nos cursos de Serviço Social do Nordeste brasileiro

Abstract

Patriarchal relationships of gender, race/ethnicity, social class and sexuality are part of society's reality and, in this work, we analyze these relationships linked to the professional training of Social Work, which is a category composed mostly of women. The objective of this dissertation is to analyze the subjects whose central theme are debates about gender and which constitute the curricular components of undergraduate courses in Social Work at public Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in the Northeast region. We have as central categories and concepts that support the theoretical and methodological paths the ethnic-racial dimensions, capitalism, patriarchy, class struggle, feminism, Ethical-Political Project, professional training, among others. The research approach is structured under the historical and dialectical materialist method that allowed the apprehension of the object in its entirety. The research process consisted of document analysis based on a quantitative-qualitative approach, information was collected based on the curricular structures and menus of the undergraduate courses in Social Work that made up the research universe. The Google Forms platform was used to collect information from professors responsible for subjects that corresponded to the field of investigation, the data collected were fundamental to consolidate the methodological elements of analysis. Finally, the result achieved indicates the challenges posed to Social Work with regard to anti-racist, anti-capitalist and anti-patriarchal professional training in dialogue with the Ethical-Political Project of the profession.
