| Summary: | This article offers subsidies to support the dialogue regarding research about the social workers’ academic education, based
on the document Diretrizes Gerais para o Curso de Serviço Social (1996) (General Guidelines for Social Work Programs). A qualitative
bibliographic and documentary research was conducted to analyze the laws that regulate the profession regarding research and other
relevant scientific productions, from the perspective of historical-dialectical materialism. The results show that, given the current
challenges related to the expansion of counter-hegemonic currents in social work and the expansion of Distance Education, the
profession needs to resume the agenda of researching the profession of social work itself. Thus, the analysis encourages the community
of researchers in the field to consider social work as an object of study. Finally, the article suggests the development of new research on
the implementation of the curriculum guidelines, for example, as a way to instigate a national debate on the subject. |
