Multitemporality as practical work: An experience about the usefulness of history teaching for the career of social work

Abstract

This article presents a pedagogical proposal for the framework for a history teaching to be part of the career of Social Work. The aim of this course is to shed light on the existence of different temporalities within the professional interventions of social workers. Because of the profession’s link with the field of medicine, we question how this relationship is perceived by students, especially that between history and Social Work, in order to discover the best didactic strategies to construct historical knowledge.
