Reducing Barriers to Career Entry for Latinos: An Examination of Pathways into Social Work
Authors: De Jesús Anthony
Published: June 2019

Demand for bilingual/bicultural social work practitioners presents a mutually beneficial opportunity for the social work profession and Latinos who are increasingly in positions to be employed as social workers (Acevedo, González, Santiago, & Vargas-Ramos, 2007; Ortíz-Hendricks, 2007). Uneven academic preparation, limited access to information about college, high tuition/opportunity costs and family obligations are among the barriers to higher education for Latinos (Arbona & Nora, 2007; Hurtado & Ponjuan, 2005; Ortíz et al., 2007). Using comparative methods, this article describes career pathway program models that address obstacles to successful entry into social work careers. These models also demonstrate the potential to reduce barriers to degree completion and career entry for Latinos. Salient program components include reduced tuition and tuition assistance, transportation assistance, child care, support in strengthening oral and written English skills, and access to networks of employers (Takahashi & Melendez, 2004). Implications for social work and social work education are also discussed.

The field experience is understood to be pivotal in social work education. In this qualitative study, BSW students reflected on their learning outcomes and processes in their field experiences. They highlighted how their work in agencies helped them to operationalize social work values and ethics, develop an awareness of themselves as social workers, and enhanced their confidence. Implications for strengthening the practicum experience though more reflective experiences and enhancing the preparation of field instructors is discussed.
Parental and Familial Factors Among Latino/a Youths’ Successful Matriculation into Postsecondary Education
Authors: Maxwell Sarah P.
Published: June 2019

Extant research focuses on the “educational attainment gap,” documenting the lack of parity among Latino youth and other high school graduates in college matriculation. This study reversed that question, and asked instead, what factors, and specifically what parental or family-related factors, contribute to Latino/a youth enrolling in four-year post-secondary institutions where future earnings tend to be higher than two-year colleges. Data from the Texas Higher Education Opportunity Project (THEOP, 2004) were analyzed to identify parental contributors to successful matriculation into post-secondary education. Findings indicate that parents attending college was one of the most important indicators of Latino/a enrollment in either a two- or four-year college or university. Also significant, and potentially critical in social welfare policy, was rewarding students for grades. Parents helping with and checking homework were not helpful in youths’ progression to postsecondary education.
Spiritual Histories and Latter-day Saints: A Mixed-Method Preliminary Validation Study
Authors: Hodge David , Limb Gordon E.
Published: June 2019

Spirituality plays a primary role in health and wellness for many Latter-day Saints (LDS). Despite being one of the largest religious cultures in the nation, few, if any, spiritual assessment tools have been validated with this population. This mixed-method study modifies an existing spiritual assessment approach—spiritual histories—that may be congruent with LDS culture. Using a national sample of experts in LDS culture (N = 100), this study identifies: 1) the degree of cultural consistency, strengths, and limitations of the approach at a conceptual level, and 2) a culturally valid question protocol to operationalize the concept for use with LDS clients. The results suggest that spiritual histories represent a highly appropriate assessment method for LDS clients. The paper concludes by providing suggestions to administer an assessment in a culturally competent manner in clinical settings.
Addressing Older Latinos’ Spiritual Needs in Hospital Settings: Identifying Predictors of Satisfaction
Authors: Hodge David R. , Wolosin Robert J. , Bonifas Robin P.
Published: June 2019

Many older Latinos use spirituality to navigate the challenges associated with hospitalization. Although spiritual assessments are typically recommended in such settings, little, if any, research has sought to identify factors that predict satisfaction with the process of addressing clients’ spiritual needs. Using a national sample of recently hospitalized older Latinos (N = 227), this secondary analysis identified predictors of older Latinos’ satisfaction with how well their spiritual needs were addressed during their hospitalization. Among the eight predictors examined, room quality, nursing staff, and physicians were positively associated with satisfaction, while the discharge process was negatively associated with satisfaction. By understanding the factors that predict satisfaction, practitioners are better positioned to provide culturally relevant and effective services to older Latinos.
“We Have a Lot of Sleeping Parents”: Comparing Inner-City and Suburban High School Teachers’ Experiences with Parent Involvement
Authors: Wilkerson David , Kim Hea-Won
Published: June 2019

Teachers’ experiences with parent involvement were compared at an inner-city high school and a suburban high school. Parent involvement has been described as underutilized by teachers, due to either ideological barriers or cultural biases against parents of lower socio-economic status. A sample of 62 teachers found no significant group differences between teachers at the two schools for either problematic or collaborative parent involvement. There was a significant difference for beliefs about parent competency. Results may suggest that the ideological barrier of a “protective model” for home/school relations devalues parent involvement for teachers. Parent involvement may be further devalued for inner-city teachers, who hold beliefs that parent competence is reduced by socioeconomic challenges.
Nature, Genetics and the Biophilia Connection: Exploring Linkages with Social Work Values and Practice
Authors: Besthorn Fred H. , Saleebey Dennis
Published: June 2019

Social work’s notion of environment and its environmental responsibilities
has always been narrowly defined. The profession has tended to either neglect
natural environmental issues or accept shallow, ecological conceptualizations of
nature as something other, quite separate from the human enterprise and/or outside
the reach of social work activity. The Biophilia Hypothesis, first articulated by
Harvard biologist E.O.Wilson in 1984, offers social work as a fundamentally different
view of the person/environment construct and argues for a primary shift in the
way the profession views its relationship with the natural world. This article traces
the conceptual development of the Biophilic theory and reviews pivotal empirical
evidence explicitly arguing for the essential Biophilic premise that humans have
acquired, through their long evolutionary history, a strong genetic predisposition for
nature and natural settings. It offers key insights and examples for incorporating
Biophilia into social work’s values and knowledge base and how it may impact the
profession’s practice strategies and techniques.
Enhancing Self-Awareness: A Practical Strategy to Train Culturally Responsive Social Work Students
Authors: Negi Nalini J. , Bender Kimberly A. , Furman Rich , Fowler Dawnovise N. , Prickett Julia Clark
Published: June 2019

A primary goal of social justice educators is to engage students in a process of self-discovery, with the goal of helping them recognize their own biases, develop empathy, and become better prepared for culturally responsive practice. While social work educators are mandated with the important task of training future social workers in culturally responsive practice with diverse populations, practical strategies on how to do so are scant. This article introduces a teaching exercise, the Ethnic Roots Assignment, which has been shown qualitatively to aid students in developing self-awareness, a key component of culturally competent social work practice. Practical suggestions for classroom utilization, common challenges, and past student responses to participating in the exercise are provided. The dissemination of such a teaching exercise can increase the field’s resources for addressing the important goal of cultural competence training.

were identified as significant predictors of field performance. Implications of these
findings for social work educators and graduate school programs are discussed.
Evaluation of Two Interviewing Skills Measures: An Instrument Validation Study
Authors: Pike Cathy King , Bennett Robert , Chang Valerie
Published: June 2019

This article reports an initial validation of an instrument that measures
basic interviewing skills and compares its psychometric results with another instrument
that has been used more frequently to measure similar skills. Four field supervisors
rated 30 students’ videotaped interviews (N=120) using two instruments, the
validation, and a comparison instrument. The current validation instrument had
high internal consistency reliability, a clear factor structure, and performed well in
construct validity evaluations. These preliminary results supported the instrument’s
internal consistency reliability, content, factorial, and construct validity. The validation
instrument had higher internal consistency reliability, lower errormeasurement,
and amore interpretable factor structure than the comparison instrument.

Why Conduct a Spiritual Assessment? A Theoretical Foundation for Assessment
Authors: Hodge David R.
Published: June 2019

In spite of increased interest in spirituality, the concept of a spiritual assessment remains a questionable practice in the eyes of many social workers. This paper
develops five rationales to underscore the importance of including spirituality in assessment. These reasons can be summarized as follows: spiritual assessment provides
insight into clients’ world views, serves as a vehicle to identify strengths, and
demonstrates respect for client autonomy. In addition, the profession’s ethics implicitly
recommend the administration of a spiritual assessment and, for a growing
number of accrediting organizations and agencies, it is explicitly recommended.This
paper concludes by discussing the implications for practitioners and educators.
Teaching Content on Social Work Practice with Religious Congregations: A Curriculum Module
Authors: Sherr Michael , Wolfer Terry
Published: June 2019

This pilot study represents an effort to implement and evaluate use of a curriculum
module on Charitable Choice and social work practice in a faith-based
organization. Using a nonequivalent control group design, repeated measures
MANOVA showed significant differences between the treatment (n=54) and comparison
groups (n=53) on knowledge and degree of comfort at posttest. Despite the use of
a small sample (n=107) of MSW students at a public university in the Southeast, the
findings provide initial support for further use and future evaluations of curriculum
modules covering specific content on practice in faith-based settings.
Social Welfare Policy in an Information Age: New Vision or More of the Same?
Authors: McNutt John G.
Published: June 2019

As we move into the 21st Century, the social policy enterprise stands as the nexus between technological, political and social forces that will undermine the base that contemporary programs and policies depend upon. Assumptions about work and the workforce, the nature of governance and the role of technology will radically change. If our social welfare system is to remain relevant, changes will be needed. This paper explores these changing systems and examines how they will influence the current system. It will also speculate on the types of changes that will be necessary if social welfare is to remain relevant to the society of the future.
The Future of Social Work in Child Welfare
Authors: McCroskey Jacquelyn

New developments likely to shift the current balance in the field of child welfare over the next quarter century include: focus on results and performance measures, focus on child and family well-being, and increasing attention to evidence based practice.
Evidence-Based Practice Questionnaire: A Confirmatory Factor Analysis in a Social Work Sample
Authors: Rice Karen , Hwang Jeongha , Abrefa-Gyan Tina , Powell Kathleen
Published: June 2019

This study examined the psychometric properties of the Evidence-Based Practice Questionnaire (EBPQ). The 24-item EBPQ was developed to measure health professionals’ attitudes toward, knowledge of, and use of evidence-based practice (EBP). A confirmatory factor analysis was performed on the EBPQ given to a random sample of National Association of Social Work members (N = 167). The coefficient alpha of the EBPQ was .93. The study supported a 23-item 3-factor model with acceptable model fit indices (χ² = 469.04; RMSEA = .081; SRMR = .068; CFI = .900). This study suggests a slightly modified EBPQ may be a useful tool to assess social workers’ attitudes toward, knowledge of, and use of EBP.

Authors: Jain Vibhuti
Published: June 2019

Background: Anemia is one of the common significant factors responsible for the morbidity and mortality in elderly patients of age 60 years and above. The present was done with the aim to assess the consequences of anemia, and potential etiologies that increase risk of adverse events in geriatric population.Methods: This was a prospective observational study conducted at the department of pathology at Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College and associated Dr. B. R. A. M. Hospital, Raipur, Chhattisgarh, during the period from December 2011 to December 2012. A total of 150 patients with hemoglobin <12 gm% in female and <13 gm% in male satisfying the WHO criteria of anemia (hemoglobin (Hb) were included in the study. Detailed laboratory investigation of haemoglobin and relevant diagnostic tests were done in all the patients to identify the etiology.Results: The prevalence rate of anemia was 68.67%. Proportion of anemia in males was 56.6% and in females it was 43.4%.Fatigue was the most common symptom found in 87.88 % of patients. Overall mean MCV values in the study population were 80.12±10.71 (fL). Most of the patients were mild anaemic (45.3%). Normocytic-normochromic type of anemia was the most common type constituting 64%.Conclusions: There are no specific clinical guidelines to manage geriatric anemia at present. It is clear that anemia in the elderly should be evaluated, and the underlying cause should be identified at the earliest and treated whenever possible.

Published: June 2019

Background: Gall stone disease is the commonest hepatobiliary problem which is tackled by either laparoscopic or open technique. Since the advent of laparoscopic cholecystectomy by Eric Muhne in 1985, it has become gold standard for gall bladder removal. But a surgeon must be competent enough to convert it into open procedure, provided there are on table complications. Moreover, since laparoscopic surgery has a learning curve, open procedure for any surgery is must for safety of the patient as well as the surgeon.Methods: A retrospective study is done over a period of 4 years (January, 2015 to December, 2018) and data of 469 patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy in a single unit of Safdarjung Hospital, New Delhi, India has been collected and evaluated for conversion to open procedure on the basis of intraoperative findings. The complications noted and the intraoperative findings and the reasons of conversion to open cholecystectomy have been compared to the previous studies done.Results: Out of total 469 cases, M:F ratio was 1:3.51. Total 40 underwent conversion to open cholecystectomy (8.54%) with M:F ratio of 1:2.07. Most common cause of conversion was dense adhesions in Calot’s triangle along with omentum and bowel. Single patient had agenesis of gall bladder. There was no iatrogenic injury to common bile duct, common hepatic duct and there were no postoperative mortalities.Conclusions: Early conversion to open cholecystectomy is associated with lower intraoperative iatrogenic injuries and hence, lowers postoperative morbidity.

Authors:   Rostov State Transport University, Kovalev S. , Kolodenkova A. ,   Samara State Technical University, Snasel V. ,   VSB-Technical University of Ostrava
Published: June 2019

Fusion of heterogeneous data in real time is an important task in the diagnosis of technical objects. This is due to the need of taking into account not only the data coming from the sensors, but also external factors affecting the technical object. The article addresses problems of data fusion terminology on the basis of a review of the national and foreign literature. New definition of the term "data fusion" is proposed. Different scientific views of domestic and foreign experts on a problem of data fusion for diagnosing of technical objects in presence of different types of sensors and heterogeneous information are generalized and systematized. The adapted classification of data fusion, taking into account various criteria (the relations between sensors, the level of abstraction of data, architecture type), is presented. Classification of structural models of data fusion, developed for creation of intellectual systems of data fusion is given. Models of process of data fusion are investigated, their structures are presented, model merits and demerits are revealed. It is noted that for effective collecting of the basic data, arriving from of different types of sensors, and its processing it is possible to use several models of data fusion or their combination. It will allow making scientifically based management decisions when diagnosing difficult technical objects. While a lot of works of foreign researchers are devoted to separate sections of data fusion technologies, the paper presents the first full research in Russian where all the main aspects that belong to the intellectual technologies of data fusion are considered.
DESIGNING COMPLEX PRODUCTS WITH SMALL PROBABILITY OF FAILURE IN THE CONTEXT OF INDUSTRY 4.0
Authors:   JSC ", Pokhabov Yu. ,   NPO PM SDB"
Published: June 2019

The success of the transition to digital design and engineering in Industry 4.0 is determined not only by the improvement of technical and computer-aided design tools, but also by the efficiency of human activity in their use. One of the challenges of the new industrial revolution is to increase the professional level of designers and developers in the field of preparing and verifying initial computer input data validating the results of its work at the output. This mainly concerns the most time-consuming and responsible work on the design of complex products with a low probability of failure. The result can be achieved through the use of new methods of design and technological analysis to mitigate or eliminate human errors when making technical decisions. Using the methods of design & technology reliability analysis does not violate the natural course of the design and development processes, while providing a justification of the parameters of operation, which is necessary for making faultless design decisions. For this purpose, analysis methods are used, which allow to submit design documentation in the form of a parametric model of operation. This model allows simulating emergency situations with the worst combinations of modes and operating conditions, which is impossible to achieve with experimental testing. Based on such modeling, reasonable design decisions are made that exclude potential failures. To eliminate low probability failures, an original option is provided, which allows establishing the necessary and sufficient requirements in the design documentation to achieve defect-free production.

Today, the improvement of methods for protecting information is an urgent task, therefore, the authors of the article are interested in using alternative methods of developing more robust and efficient public-key cryptosystems. Finite automata are taken as such a model. To systematize knowledge in the field of finite-state cryptography, it was decided to use ontology. This paper discusses the construction of an ontological model of finite-automaton cryptography. The proposed ontological model will have four main levels: the ontology of knowledge representation, the ontology of the top level, the domain ontology and practical ontologies. The methodology of conceptual maps was taken as the ontology of knowledge representation. The ontology of the top level contains basic information about cryptography and automata theory, the domain ontology describes directly the finite automaton cryptography. As an example of practical ontology, a public-key cryptosystem based on finite automata was considered. The presented ontology is modeled for the first time and gives a clear understanding of the use of finite automata in cryptography, systematizes the information obtained in the course of the research on this subject area, is a prerequisite in the further development of cryptosystems based on the theory of automata.

The acute allergic condition may carry life-threatening character and requires the provision of the immediate medical assistance, which is governed by approved standards and clinical guidelines on appropriate forms of pathology. There are presented data concerning the routing of patients with allergic forms of pathology through stages from emergency medical assistance, evacuation of the patient till the discharge from the hospital with recommendations for outpatient care, with the purpose of the analysis of correspondence of medical aid in acute allergic pathology to existing algorithms and clinical guidelines at different stages of the management of patients. There was performed an analysis of the data of 1327 children with acute allergic pathology requesting emergency medical assistance. 78% of patients were left in place with recommendations for further referral to specialists, 22% of patients were evacuated to various clinics for specialized medical care (SMC). At the stage of the rendering of SMC 69% of children received corticosteroids in 2014, 66% - in 2015. 60% of children were prescribed first-generation H1-antihistamines in 2014, 63%-in 2015; 25% of children were administered the lytic mixture. Only 4% of children received inhalation therapy. At the stationary stage in 2014, all children with broncho-pulmonary disease and laryngotracheitis received antibiotic therapy, 89% and 59% - in 2015, respectively Conclusion The quality of rendering of medical aid to children with acute allergic pathology at prehospital and hospital stages is not always consistent with clinical recommendations.

Published: June 2019

Over last decades in the developed countries, the gain in overweight and obesity both among the adults and children’s population is noted. Obesity in children and adolescents is a predictor of cardiovascular accidents at an older age. Understanding characteristics of the body composition in children with the obesity will increase the effectiveness of therapeutic interventions in the correction of obesity and prevention of the formation of the cardiovascular risk. 181 children aged 10-17 years participated in the study executed in 2011-2015. Anthropometry and bioelectrical impedance analysis were performed in all children. According to BMI, all children were divided into 3 groups: the overweight, obesity and control group. An analysis of the ratio of actual values of body components to the height squared showed a significant gain in all body components to be observed in the group of obese children compared to the control, but the increase in active cell mass (ACM) was significantly lower in comparison with changes in fat mass. Thus, there is a decrease in the number of metabolically active cells in obesity relative to body mass. Analysis of fluid components in examined groups of children revealed a decrease in extracellular fluid sector relative to ACM observed in obesity, which may indicate to the decreased volume of circulating blood plasma and the increase in the blood viscosity. At the same time, a significant extracellular and intracellular fluid deficiency was noted in the adipose tissue in the group with the obesity. Thus, we have not obtained data on the water retention in the development of the obesity in children and adolescents, which may be important for understanding the genesis of hypertension, often associated with the obesity. The fluid deficit occurring in obesity should be taken into account in the appointment of drinking water regime and diuretics.

Currently, the assessment of the quality of life is one of the most important criteria, describing integral characteristics of the children’s health. The article presents an analysis of the results of the research of the influence of personality type indices on the quality of life. PedsQL was calculated for each child’s physical, emotional, social spheres, as well as school performance and overall score accordingly to the questionnaire data. The study involved 2292 children aged from 13 to 18 years: 1164 girls and 1128 boys. The survey was executed by interviewing teenagers in the Izhevsk schools and 24 regional centers of the Republic of Udmurtia. To determine the type of the person of teenagers there was used an adaptive technique by K. Ung. As a result, 3 groups were formed. The first group was formed by 960 students with a predominance of personality traits of an introvert, the second group included 1258 extrovert cases. The same group of children (n = 74) was allocated among teenagers having symptoms as well extroverts as introverts (group “intro-extrovert”). As a result of the comparison, the quality of life and the type of the person of teenagers were found to be related to each other. According to the values of the “total score”, “social functioning” and “emotional functioning” the most harmonious quality of life indices were identified in children from the mixed group appeared to be a part of the personality of the best qualities of extroverts and introverts.

There are presented generalized data on modern methods of diagnosis and treatment of sclerosing cholangitis (SCh), a chronic inflammatory liver disease of unknown etiology affecting the intrahepatic and/or extrahepatic bile ducts resulting in cirrhosis of the liver. In children, 2 forms of SCh are distinguished: primary (PSCh) and autoimmune (ASCh). Diagnosis of SCh requires performing cholangiography. ACh responds to standard immunosuppressive treatment with prednisone/prednisone and azathioprine. Supportive immunosuppressive therapy should last at least 2-3 years. After the end of such treatment, the doctor should continue to monitor changes in the ratios of AST/ALT/IgG autoantibodies in the blood of patients every 3-month for at least 5 years. SCh is often associated with inflammatory bowel disease, which should be excluded in the debut by determining the content of fecal calprotectin and colonoscopy data. In children, liver transplantation is one of the options for the treatment of Ch. However, the frequency of relapses after transplantation remains high, especially in ACh patients.
Willie Gertrude Brown and the Unsettling of Black Settlements: Lessons for Community-Engaged Practice and Social Work Education
Authors: DeLoach McCutcheon Kendra P.
Published: June 2019

Social work values require its educators to teach a history that represents diversity and inclusion, yet its history routinely omits the contributions of pioneering social workers of color. This omission promotes White hegemony as characterized by the emphasis on White reformers in the American settlement movement and the exclusion of Black social workers and activists. Using critical race theory, this article posits the need to dismantle White hegemony by examining the American settlement movement and the parallel settlement movement as a counter response by Black social workers, specifically, an unrecognized Black social worker of the 1930s, W. Gertrude Brown. This recognition portends the need for social work to critique its ahistorical perspective and perchance to rewrite its history.
Persistence and Desistance Narratives: Understanding the Role of Correctional and Probation Officers in Reducing Recidivism
Authors: Vann Maurice
Published: June 2019

Forensic social workers and criminal justice reform advocates must better understand how correctional and probation officers influence offender recidivism. Justice system reform efforts focusing on policing and the courts often ignore the roles of correctional and probation officers. Returning citizens' internal “persistence” and “desistance” narratives influence future criminality and successful reintegration into their communities. Correctional and probation officers may influence these persistence and desistance narratives. A narrative analysis investigating the experiences of three Black male returning citizens in Baltimore, Maryland, shows that a person's ability to make sense of their interactions with probation officers while serving community corrections sentences and their interactions with correctional officers within prisons may be one of many factors that influence persistence and desistance narratives.

Cartografias da Educação Não-Formal
Authors: Garcia Valéria Aroeira , Rotta Daltro Cardoso
Published: June 2019

O presente texto é fruto de pesquisa de campo de mestrado e de doutorado dos autores, além de observações realizadas em palestras, assessorias e cursos ministrados em instituições que atuam no campo da educação não-formal. A proposta desse artigo é cartografar a prática de educadores, assim como suas trajetórias que são explicitadas através de seus fazeres de educadores. Consideramos tanto a prática educativa realizada nas ruas, como também nas instituições que atuam no campo da educação não-formal, tendo como solo de nossa problemática os projetos intervencionistas realizados pelo Estado, a sociedade civil e o terceiro setor, que têm como alvo algumas questões sociais. Delimitaremos assim, especificamente ações nas áreas de educação, cultura e assistência social que se dirigem às crianças e aos jovens. O diálogo bibliográfico se dá com Gilles Deleuze, Félix Guatarri e Michel Foucault, prioritariamente.

Vivendo o corpo e a arte no espaço urbano
Authors: Bertoni Eliete Rachel Bulhões Dias
Published: June 2019

Desde a modernidade, a velocidade, a urgência, o transporte e o trabalho exacerbado têm roubado de nós a percepção dos cenários urbanos. Desconhecemos os caminhos que percorremos e tampouco os exploramos. Numa resistência a esta precarização da vida nas cidades modernas, surgem os situacionietas, criando novos paradigmas para a vivência e construção do espaço urbano; propondo caminhos, labirintos, rotas sem destino pré-determinado, que são as ”derivas”. Viver a arte na educação é viver a possibilidade. Sendo assim, no universo adolescente do ensino fundamental II, mesmo de uma escola apostilada, pudemos lançar a proposta de uma vivência situacionista. Fomos então a um oásis que temos perto da escola que engloba algumas quadras e que resiste ao piche, para valorizar pracinhas como lugar de vivência e convívio. A ideia era primeiramente experimentar este espaço urbano velozmente e depois lentamente, caminhando sem pensar no percurso. Logicamente, muito pouco foi apreendido no primeiro, ao contrário do segundo que permitiu um compartilhar rico e poético. O que vivenciamos visual, tátil e auditivamente, transformou-se, posteriormente, em imagens e signos que se materializaram em esculturas de cimento, num contraponto urbano.Palavras chave: Percepção, labirintos, resistência, vivência, compartilhar.

Apontamentos sobre educação e sociedade capitalista em Marx, Durkheim e Weber: indícios da educação não formal e de uma concepção plural de educação
Authors: Groppo Luís Antonio
Published: June 2019

O artigo enfrenta o desafio de relacionar as ideias sobre sociedade capitalista de Marx, Durkheim e Weber, clássicos do pensamento sociológico, com suas respectivas ideias sobre a educação. Como estratégia, foram aplicadas as definições de educação informal e não formal, na qualidade de tipos ideias às obras destes autores, para buscar ideias potencialmente educacionais, algumas pouco discutidas outrora. Contudo, esta aplicação mais demonstra a presença, nestes clássicos, de uma potencial concepção de educação em sentido amplo, como socialização e formação dos sujeitos, uma educação sem adjetivos.
