Questão social na Amazônia na formação profissional: uma análise do debate no curso de Serviço Social da UFAM, campus Manaus

Abstract

The debate on the social issue in the Amazon plays a crucial role in the professional training of social workers in the region, revealing the particularities of this scenario and proposing strategies to address its various manifestations. In this context, this work aims to analyze the training of undergraduate students in Social Work at UFAM, Manaus campus, in relation to the social question in the Amazon. This is an exploratory study with a qualitative-quantitative approach. The methodological procedures include bibliographical and documentary research, and historical-dialectical materialism as a method aimed at understanding the historical totality. The concept and problem of the social question in the Amazon is little explored during the professional training of social workers. In this sense, the results of the research indicate that there is a need to reinforce the programmatic and methodological content of the Social Work course in order to better train future professionals to deal with the specific challenges of the Amazon region.
