METHODS OF SOCIAL SERVICE 1

The course is among the characterizing training activities of the Degree Course in Sciences of Society and Social Service and aims to provide knowledge and tools linked to the collective dimension of social work, with particular attention to the planning and evaluation of social work. In the first part, the theoretical foundations and methodology of community social work will be explored in depth. The second part is dedicated to social planning, introduced by a terminological framework, followed by in-depth studies on theoretical approaches and the main planning tools. In the third part, the aspects related to evaluation and decision-making in social work will be explored in depth. All topics will be addressed from the point of view of theoretical contents and methodological aspects, with a constant reminder of the ethical framework, which will form the backdrop to the entire teaching.

At the end of the course, students will have to know the main theoretical elements of evaluation, working with groups, social planning and community social service. They must be able to connect theoretical knowledge with operational practices by developing critical and reflective thinking.

It is strongly recommended to have taken "Teorie del servizio sociale"
