Edukační paradigma v sociální pedagogice a sociální práci – historie, současnost, perspektivy

Abstract

The aim of this study is to analyse in a diachronic and synchronic perspective the way in which the educational paradigm of helping (helping to self-help) influences the relations between social pedagogy and social work as sciences and as practical helping disciplines interacting in a common professional field. The referential frame constitutes of the thesis that, as sciences and as helping practices, both social pedagogy and social work today are based on the values of human dignity, justice, and equality and on a developmental approach to helping. The conceptual similarities and differences between social pedagogy and social work in terms of their historical development, scientific, and practice-professional profile are discussed.
