Students know central paradigms of Social Work and can assign these theoretical concepts such as professional fields and reflect critically upon them. They realise how typical "guiding principles" of Social Work recur with different terms in various contexts and how their meaning has changed in the course of the history of Social Work. They can critically reflect upon them in terms of the current social structures as well as in terms of the current situation of Social Work.

Completion of the course "Discourses of Social Work"

Central terms, topics and paradigms (such as for example, the double or triple mandate, empowerment, the eco-social paradigm, conviviality) are elaborated and placed in the current context of Social Work.
