Abstract

This article reflects on the historic and contemporary challenges related to the internship process, an integral part of professional education in the field of social work. It presents a theoretical-critical analysis that emphasizes, in education in social service, reflections on the hegemonic-critical professioanl culture, estabilishing a direct relationship between the proposal for a new professional tradition and the limits presented to its materialization. It concludes that the professional practice is part of the learning process in a continuous movement of reconfiguration and reconstruction of knowledge, incorporating the new among students and teachers.
