Action concept

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Action concept is a frequently used term in social affairs , social pedagogy and pedagogy . The term describes the connection between the image of man, goals, content, procedures, methods and techniques of an intervention in social work. It was first introduced by Geissler and Hege in the discussion about methods of social work.

use

The term action concept forms one of the important bases for reflecting on methodical action in social work. If it is used by professionals, it belongs to the inventory of terms of a "reflexive practice" of social work. In theory, this term serves as an instrument to reconstruct the fundamentals of action in social work. He tries to determine the characteristics of various social work interventions and to classify them.

Action plan as an instrument of reflective practice

The term “action plan” can be understood as a term for practice. It should empower the actors in social work to reflect on their own work. If this is done with the term action concept, then it is about the context and the coherence of goals, content, procedures, methods, techniques and the overall ideas that guide action in an intervention. The term is an instrument of self-assurance in socio-educational action.

The term “concept of action”, which is often used identically to the term “method”, is superordinate to the term method and is distinguished from it by greater complexity, above all by the depiction of a context and the interdependence of individual elements. On the one hand, it refers to the theoretical, ethical and socio-philosophical foundations of socio-pedagogical work and, on the other hand, provides a foundation for methods, procedures and techniques based on their abstract basis. The concept of the concept of action thus serves as a mediating function of the practical sphere and theory or axiology (philosophy) .

The action concept emphasizes the position of the human image for professional intervention. Since the concept of human beings is closely related to which action appears desirable and feasible, the term action concept calls for the relationship between the two to be discussed.

The term is mainly used in the conceptions of (social) educational institutions as a means against the arbitrariness of spontaneous action in social work. It should provide help against a colonization of social work through terms from other areas of life, especially those of economics .

Action plan as an instrument for theoretical reflection

In the field of method research, the concept of the concept of action is used to demonstrate the embedding of socio-educational action in complex contexts of meaning or to reconstruct action as such a context of meaning.

A second concern is the reflection of the goals and means of professional action, as well as the classification and differentiation of interventions.

In a culture-oriented theory of social work, another important prerequisite for professional action in the immigration society is to be fulfilled by identifying cultural connections between action concepts in social work .

Classification of action plans

For social work, Bührmann proposes a division into person / family-related and social space-oriented action concepts. This classification matrix is ​​based on target groups or fields of action in social work.
