Estágio supervisionado obrigatório em serviço social: a produção teórica sobre a supervisão de campo

Abstract

The work presented here deals with the Mandatory Supervised Internship in Social Work, highlighting the theoretical production on Field Supervision, based on the articles published in the main periodicals of the area, such as: Social Service Society magazine and Temporalis magazine, in the period of 2010 to 2016. It seeks to understand how field supervision has been problematized in the face of a counterreform situation of the State and dismantling of social policies, which is directly affecting Social Work, whether in the field of training, through the counter- reform of higher education, either in the context of professional practice, with the precariousness of working conditions and, above all, the precarious forms of employment. This object was seized through a bibliographical and documentary research, of an essentially qualitative character, in which it was sought to analyze the articles of the cited Social Service periodicals, made available electronically. In order to choose the articles, we initially read the titles and abstracts and, later, we separated by periodical, into two groups: articles about professional training in Social Work and articles about internships. For the data collection we used a reading script and for its analysis we elaborated some tables where the contents of the selected articles were systematized. In this sense, 29 (twenty-nine) articles were analyzed, of which 08 (eight) in the Journal of Social and Society and 21 (twenty-one) in Revista Temporalis. The results suggest that, although the category has come to indicate the need to focus strength in debates about the internship and supervision, considered one of the great "nodes" of professional training in Social Work, there is an incipient production on the subject. If we specialize for field supervision, the theoretical production practically does not exist. We thus identify a meager production on the stage, which is considered as one of the main problems faced in vocational training. The articles highlight the existence of a mistaken view about the internship as being the only curricular component that allows an insight into professional practice; the disarticulation between academic supervision and field supervision; the trainee often seen precariousness of the working conditions of the field supervisor; the impossibility of participating in events and the difficulty of developing with the student the ability to apprehend reality and build proposals for action, as well as the absence of discussions about the protagonism of the subjects involved in the internship process, especially with regard to the field supervisor .
