Work Management

The study aimed to understand the importance of the Social Worker work management process in Education Policy, more specifically in the Coordination of Social Work Course. It was questioned whether the theoretical and methodological principles of management apply in the federal public sector, where the work to be carried out already obeys a previously planned and orchestrated agenda by the federal sphere, as it obeys plans and goals established by the managing bodies of policies public. Then, it was asked whether it would be possible to build the theoretical-practical process of management and how to carry it out in the field of professional practice, where the overvaluation of bureaucratic work directly interferes with professional action, a process that contributes to the construction of a practice emptied and uncritical professional. Also in this questioning guideline, it was also asked, what are the theoretical and practical principles of management that the social worker could appropriate as a work tool in his performance in the public sector, where the professional routinely runs into institutional limits and power relations established in the state apparatus. The documentary and bibliographic study was characterized by its exploratory character and qualitative approach. It was considered that the process of valuing bureaucratic work has been gradually encouraging the bureaucratization of practice and the professional void, a fact that conditions professional practice to bureaucratic and routine tasks. Work management and the ability to plan and organize professional action on a purposeful basis become instruments of great importance in the formulation of proposals to face the challenges posed to Social Service professionals.

The Relationship

Drawing on a three-year ethnographically oriented study exploring contemporary professional social work writing, this article focuses on a key concern: the amount of time taken up with writing, or “paperwork.” We explore the relationship between time and professional social work writing in three key ways: (a) as a discrete, measurable phenomenon—how much time is spent on writing? (b) as a textual dimension to social work writing—how do institutional documents drive particular entextualizations of time and how do social worker texts entextualize time? (c) as a particular timespace configuration of lived experience—how is time experienced by professional social workers? Findings indicate that a dominant institutional chronotope is governing social work textual practice underpinned by an ideology of writing that is at odds with social workers’ desired practice and professional goals. Methodologically, this article illustrates the value of combining a range of data and analytic tools, using textual and contextual data as well as qualitative and quantitative frames of analysis.

Methodological Strategy

A través del presente artículo, reivindicando la relevancia del ejercicio de la interdisciplinariedad, se expone una estrategia teórico/metodológica para incursionar en lo que consideramos como una relación o incidencia recíproca entre la disciplina del Trabajo Social y la teoría y política del desarrollo regional. A su vez, se reconoce que entre ambas pueden suscitarse complementariedades y vinculaciones bidireccionales, pues el Trabajador Social requiere –en su formación y ejercicio profesional– de los estudios sobre el desarrollo y demás conocimientos y herramientas que contribuyan a inscribir y contextualizar la cuestión social y sus problemáticas en el territorio, en tanto construcción sociohistórica dotada de una dinámica desequilibrada y desigual que amerita de la promoción, participación e intervención social ejercidas por este profesionista. Son precisamente estas acciones, destrezas y habilidades las que le ayudarán a contribuir –tras aprovechar su sólida formación teórico/metodológica e instrumental– en el diseño y adopción de proyectos de desarrollo local/regional que precisan de una sensibilización respecto a los problemas sociales, así como de un diálogo con otros profesionistas y especialistas.Through this article, claiming the relevance of the exercise of interdisciplinarity, a theoretical/ methodological strategy is exposed to venture into what we consider as a relationship or reciprocal incidence between the discipline of Social Work and the theory and politics of regional development. At the same time, it is recognized that there can be two-way complementarities and links between the two, since the Social Worker requires –in their training  and professional practice– development studies and other knowledge and tools that help to inscribe and contextualize the social issue and its problems in the territory, as a sociohistorical construction endowed with an unbalanced and uneven dynamics that merits the promotion, participation and social intervention exercised by this professional. It is precisely these actions, skills and abilities that will help you to contribute - after taking advantage of your solid theoretical / methodological and instrumental training - in the design and adoption of local / regional development projects that require awareness of social problems, as well as from a dialogue with other professionals and specialists.

Purpose The purpose of this study was to ascertain the extent to which school-based speech-language pathologists' (SLPs) assessment practices with individual English learners (ELs) align with federal legislation and professional practice guidelines. Specifically, we were interested in examining SLPs' use of multiple tools during individual EL assessments, as well as relationships between practices and number of types of training experiences. Method School-based SLPs in a Midwestern state were recruited in person or via e-mail to complete an online survey pertaining to assessment. Of the 562 respondents who completed the survey, 222 (39.5%) indicated past or present experience with ELs, and thus, their data were included in the analyses. The questionnaire solicited information about respondent's demographics, caseload composition, perceived knowledge and skills and training experiences pertaining to working with ELs (e.g., graduate school, self-teaching, professional conferences), and assessment practices used in schools. Results The majority of respondents reported using multiple tools rather than a single tool with each EL they assess. Case history and observation were tools used often or always by the largest number of participants. SLPs who used multiple tools reported using both direct (e.g., standardized tests, dynamic assessment) and indirect tools (e.g., case history, interviews). Analyses revealed low to moderate positive associations between tools, as well as the use of speech-language samples and number of types of training experiences. Conclusions School-based SLPs in the current study reported using EL assessment practices that comply with federal legislation and professional practice guidelines for EL assessment. These results enhance our understanding of school-based SLPs' assessment practices with ELs and may be indicative of a positive shift toward evidence-based practice.
