Competencias para la intervención socioeducativa con jóvenes en dificultad social

Abstract

This article presents the results of a recent research which deals with the issue of what means to be a competent educator in the socio-educational intervention with young people in social difficulty. We have used a methodology ex post facto, causal-correlational, which used the longitudinal analysis of the information available around the time of the emancipation of young. We selected two samples, educators and young people (statistically significant, c.i. 99%; m.e. 0.1), and we proceeded to implement a battery of instruments (questionnaires, interviews, analysis of documentation). The information obtained has been contrasted with the theoretical contributions on specific competences for socio-educational intervention with young people in social difficulty. The discussion elaborates the different assessments of young people and professionals, and concludes by identifying seven specific competencies to the socio-educational intervention with youth in social difficulty.
