This paper aims at analyzing the professional and Institutional demands of the Social Work at the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Espírito Santo, before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, through revisiting the data of our master’s research (2017) – which was held from interviews with active social workers at the Student Assistance Policy of this Institute – in interface with the analysis of letters and notes produced in the pandemic context (2020) by students and workers from different professional categories. It was theoretically supported by Antunes (2018, 2020), Iamamoto (2015) and Yazbek (2009). We concluded that the qualified professional demand of Social Work differs from the institutional demand at Ifes, then (re) visiting the data contributed to resignify the way of understanding the social work demand, which is not solitary but powerful, because it makes it possible to build alliances with other workers and students who stand and fight for equity and social justice.

The reflections in this article refer to the experiences of the authors in the Student Movement in Social Work (MESS), registered in a research of Scientific Initiation, whose objective was to understand what the students of the Social Work course think and know about this Student Movement, as a politicalorganizational dimension, during the professional training, at the Federal University of the Triângulo Mineiro (UFTM). The research, whose analysis was based on the critical dialectic method, was carried out with students enrolled in the 5th to 8th period of the course and the data collection through the application of a closed questionnaire. The results indicated a synthesis of the concrete reality expressed in the voices of the research subjects, which signify the MESS as necessary for the political organization of the category, as well as for the strengthening of social struggles and the hegemonic ethical-political project of Social Service.

This article seeks to discuss the ethical-political foundations of the Brazilian Social Service in the consolidation of a critical and purposeful professional identity in the face of the current economic, political, cultural and social conjuncture, which shows a neoliberal and postmodern dominant ethos, affirming neoconservative proposals that create obstacles to the materialization of the human-generic values defended by the profession.

Este ensaio apresenta alguns pressupostos teórico-metodológicos para a intervenção profissional em serviço social, sinalizando os diferentes campos de atuação e demarcando o espaço sócio institucional como um espaço conflitivo, onde perpassam correlações de forças, e que ao mesmo tempo é pleno de possibilidades. Discute a importância de o profissional apropriar-se do objeto de intervenção que constitui o cotidiano da sua prática, elencando alguns procedimentos metodológicos, enfatizando a importância da interdisciplinaridade na análise e encaminhamento das diferentes situações sociais e conclui que teoria e prática intercalam-se em constante movimento dialético, sendo indissociáveis para um exercício profissional sério e competente. Abstract: This paper presents some theoretical and methodological propositions for professional intervention in social service, indicating the different fields of social and marking the institutional space as a contentious area, where permeate correlations of forces, and at the same time is full of possibilities. Discusses the importance of the professional ownership of the object of intervention which is the everyday practice, listing some methodological procedures, emphasizing the importance of interdisciplinary analysis and routing of different social situations and concludes that theory and practice interleave in constant dialectical movement, being inextricably linked to a serious and competent professional intervention.
