L'aspecte relacional del treball de l'educador social

Resum

Thinking about relationships is as important as having theoretical knowledge of pedagogy, psychology or teaching. The author of the article considers that such a reflection encourages the process. This works both directly, in that it permits a helping relationship that is qualitatively more enabling for ther user, and indirectly, by enhancing the mental health of the social educator. All this is aimed at improving professional skills, not only by what we might call the instrumental improvement of tools (teaching and educational), but also by the study of the relational side of our profession. The best of relational strategies is the congruency, coherence and authenticity of the educator before the user.
