| Beskrivning: | This article presents the results of a study conducted at the Western Campus of the University of Costa Rica (UCR) by two professors from the Social Work program (CTS-SO) during the 2019-2020 period. The research focused on the potential of pre-professional practices as fundamental spaces for theoretical-practical integration, representing a key pedagogical resource for the training of Social Workers. These practices enable students to go beyond abstract theoretical knowledge, interact with social realities from the outset of their training, and actively engage in them, contributing to social transformation through the three dimensions of professional intervention: theoretical-methodological, technical-operational, and ethical-political, aimed at achieving an academically and contextually relevant practice. The study employed a qualitative methodology and was carried out with a group of students who completed their undergraduate Social Work internships between 2013 and 2018. The main findings indicate that pre-professional practices serve as growth spaces where the dialogue between university education and social reality fosters a practical understanding of the theoretical, technical, and ethical-political content taught in the classroom. Additionally, it was observed that these practices strengthen a socio-critical perspective in students regarding the needs of diverse populations and groups in the country. |
