Abstract

The main objective of this study is to analyze the centrality of research in the process of training professional in Social Work. The methodology adopted for its elaboration started from a bibliographical and documentary research, with the theoretical foundations of authors who discuss this problematic. Still as a research technique, we catalog the TCCs produced by the students in the Social Work course of UFRB, and identified 314 (three hundred and fourteen) TCCs, in the period from 2012.1 to 2017.2, from the title, indicating later on which thematic axis of the Groups of ABEPSS research is linked. The work is structured in three chapters in which conceptual approaches are realized, initially, with regard to the professionalization process, as well as an analysis of ABEPSS curriculum guidelines and the place of research in this process. In addition to this, notes on professional training and research in the scope of Social Work postgraduate programs, the importance of ABEPSS Thematic Groups of Research and an analysis of the PPC of the Social Work course of UFRB. The results obtained from this work allow us to point out that there is a centrality in studies on the theme of social policy and, to our understanding, it deserves attention on the part of the student body and teacher of the UFRB to carry out research that deals with the fundamentals of the Service Social, as a way to sharpen the debate and strengthen this field of research.
