SOCIAL ASSISTANT WORK MANAGEMENT IN EDUCATION POLICY

The study aimed to understand the importance of the Social Worker work management process in Education Policy, more specifically in the Coordination of Social Work Course. It was questioned whether the theoretical and methodological principles of management apply in the federal public sector, where the work to be carried out already obeys a previously planned and orchestrated agenda by the federal sphere, as it obeys plans and goals established by the managing bodies of policies public. Then, it was asked whether it would be possible to build the theoretical-practical process of management and how to carry it out in the field of professional practice, where the overvaluation of bureaucratic work directly interferes with professional action, a process that contributes to the construction of a practice emptied and uncritical professional. Also in this questioning guideline, it was also asked, what are the theoretical and practical principles of management that the social worker could appropriate as a work tool in his performance in the public sector, where the professional routinely runs into institutional limits and power relations established in the state apparatus. The documentary and bibliographic study was characterized by its exploratory character and qualitative approach. It was considered that the process of valuing bureaucratic work has been gradually encouraging the bureaucratization of practice and the professional void, a fact that conditions professional practice to bureaucratic and routine tasks. Work management and the ability to plan and organize professional action on a purposeful basis become instruments of great importance in the formulation of proposals to face the challenges posed to Social Service professionals.
