Competencies and objectives

 

Course context for academic year 2021-22

“La formación de los /as trabadores /as sociales debe ser una formación integral que atienda tanto a contenidos disciplinares, competenciales y actitudinales que contribuyan a generar profesionales que no sólo sepan hacer, sino que también conozcan el medio en el que trabajan y sean capaces de analizarlo críticamente”. (Libro Blanco del Grado de Trabajo Social).

Las diferentes asignaturas que forman el plan de estudios de 2010 del Grado en Trabajo Social que ofrece la Universidad de Alicante ofrecen una visión lo más amplia posible de las necesidades de formación con el objetivo del desarrollo posterior de la profesión. Esta asignatura forma parte del módulo C “Procesos y problemas sobre los que actúa el Trabajo Social” y de la materia C2 “Estructura, Desigualdad y Exclusión Sociales”.  Guarda relación y comparte competencias comunes con las asignaturas de  Estructura social, Antropología aplicada al Trabajo Social, Sociología de las Desigualdades, Análisis de datos para el Trabajo Social y Geografía Social.

Las Técnicas de Investigación Social son una herramienta fundamental en el Trabajo Social. Saber cómo producir información, cómo estructurarla en el procedimiento de investigación social científica y cómo emplearla para la toma de decisiones es algo absolutamente necesario. El diagnóstico de la realidad social se basa, precisamente, en cómo se haya obtenido y procesado la información. Además, como objetivo formativo de la asignatura, los /as estudiantes deben ser capaces de aplicar mecanismos de identificación, análisis y medida de los problemas sociales y de las necesidades derivadas de las situaciones de exclusión, discriminación y opresión.
