Propuesta de intervención - diagnóstico en el contexto educativo para una intervención del trabajador social : caso de una unidad educativa particular de la provincia de los Ríos.

Abstract

Educational social work has been little explored to date; recently it has been defined as a preventive task in addition to its other functions linked to professional praxis, such as resource management, mediation, home visits and interventions, and preparation of social diagnoses. During the literature review it has been shown that there is a shortage of theoretical-methodological construction on educational social diagnosis. This proposal has applied a piloting of a social diagnosis prior to the definition of variables possibly incident to the student's performance from an eco-systemic perspective. This piloting was aimed at analyzing the usefulness and effectiveness of the instruments applied, the procedure followed and the importance of the selected variables; obtaining a series of results that allowed us to analyze and improve the quality and applicability of both instruments and procedure. As a contributory proposal to School Social Work, some instruments and formats were presented to elaborate a social diagnosis in the educational context, as well as its application methodology embodied in an explanatory flow diagram. The proposal was articulated under the policies and regulations of the Department of Student Counseling.
