contents A FRESH START FOR CONVERGENCE THEORY? IDEAS FOR COMPARING CHANGE IN SOCIAL WORK EDUCATION ACROSS THE EU JACOB KORNBECK Salud Social Pedagogy Convergence Social work Harmonization European countries have diverse traditions in terms of social policy, social work practice and sociall work education. This diversity complicates defining any pan.European social work core. There have been few attempts to describe how social work is defined, delimited and subdivided in national contexts. However three types of social work can be identified: in countries like the UK, only social work 'proper' is considered as part of social work, in countries like Germany, social work and social pedagogy share the field, and countries like France, there is a triad and social assistance, especial education and socio-cultural animation. This paper uses sociological convergence theory as an explanatory framework to answer some of the questions inevitably prompted by the prospect of the - alleged or real - processes of alignment of the social curriculum across EU contries. 2005 artículo científico 1578-0236 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=161017272002 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=1610 Portularia application/pdf Universidad de Huelva Portularia (España) Num.1 Vol.V
