SOCIAL WORK IN BASIC EDUCATION IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF PINDAMONHANGABA/SP: CHALLENGES AND PROFESSIONAL PRACTICES

Abstract

This report discusses the work experiences of social workers who work in the public basic education network - Early Childhood
Education and Elementary Education I in the municipality of Pindamonhangaba - São Paulo and aims to give visibility to the social relevance of Social Service activities in the area of education. Describes the professional practice based on the determination of Federal Law No. 13.935/2019. It reports on the work of the social worker as a professional capable of intervening in the multiple expressions of social issues that involve students and families, especially school dropout and precarious living conditions. It discusses professional actions based on the pedagogical function of the social worker, as an agent that contributes to the construction of a new culture in educational spaces. The methodology used comes from
bibliographical research by authors in the category, laws to protect children and adolescents and reports on the professional experiences of social workers. The theoretical/methodological framework used is historical-dialectical materialism, which analyzes the contradictions of social reality from the essence of the phenomena and which applied in education seeks to overcome a limiting, generalizing and endogenous view of the reality of families and break superficial actions capable of
unveiling the contradictions posed in everyday life to understand the phenomena that interfere in the teaching/learning process of students.
