¿Cómo hacen investigación los trabajadores sociales? Una primera aproximación a las experiencias de investigación de una generación de profesionales chilenos

Abstract

This abstract analyzes the investigation developed by a group of Chilean social workers graduated between 1995 and 2005. It is assumed —as a starting point— that, though this investigation constitutes a field that is still developing for this profession, the social workers‘ work is closely linked with investigative practices which, through different ways, complement and nurture the professional development. The study of the social workers’ research was carried out following the guidelines of the biographical interpretation method. This allowed the construction of a typology that identifies three professional profiles which are differentiated according to the way in which the social workers get nearer to we social investigation and to the way in which it is developed. These profiles constitute a first typological construction because they were drawn up starting from the professionals’ identities who participated in this investigation. This investigation is expected to deepen thanks to contributions coming from other investigations.
