Serviço social na educação: o assistente social no ambiente escolar

Abstract

This course completion work (TCC) has as its subject of study the insertion of social workers in education, with the general objective of understanding what contributions social work can offer to basic education schools. Specifically aiming to: Understand the educational policy developed by public basic education schools; understand the role played by social workers in educational policy, their duties and responsibilities in relation to social issues and analyze the intervention processes proposed by social services at school, through the social worker's duties in public elementary schools. The methodology was through a bibliographic and documentary study, based on historical-dialectical materialism, of a qualitative nature aiming to generate knowledge. The research addresses the context of inclusion of social workers in education policy, the fight for the approval of Law nº13. 935/2019, which provides for the provision of social services in primary schools. Although this Law has been approved, the inclusion of professionals in schools is still very recent, however, in the State of Tocantins, it is already something concrete. Therefore, the intention is to demonstrate, through field research based on bibliographic research, to give authenticity to the Course Completion Work, showing the importance of inserting this professional in the educational environment, more precisely in state basic units, considering their duties and competencies through their professional practice based on the Code of Ethics, the Profession Regulation Law considering the LDB, and the ECA, having as a reference the six municipalities that make up the Superintendence (SRE) of Miracema do Tocantins.
