Nuo socialinio darbo profesijos link socialinio darbo profesinės veiklos lauko analizės
Socialinio darbo teoretikai sutinka, kad Pierre’o Bourdieu sociologijos įtaka sociali niam darbui plečiasi ir gilėja. Kita vertus, kai kalbama apie socialinio darbo profesiją, tie patys teoretikai ignoruoja P. Bourdieu nuostatą nuo profesijos tyrimų pereiti prie profesinio lauko analizės. P. Bourdieu profesijos fenomeną laikė biurokratinės pri gimties konceptualizacija, kuri įtvirtina mokslinio mąstymo logikai prieštaraujančias heteronomijos ap…

Didactics of history and historical consciousness
The paper discusses the general principles of compatibility between history and social science studies. Modernity has transformed the ancient belief that historia est magistra vitae (Cicero) and one common discourse of history has split into two different parts: academic history and didactics of history. This division has fostered the development of scientific history but, on the other hand, the gap between academic history and historical teachin…
