Abstract

This article reflects on the ethical-deontological culture of Portuguese social educators, based on a study of the relationship between professional knowledge and ethical training. Associating the professional knowledge of social educators with a relational, hospitable and reflective mentality, privileged in the context of intervention, we wanted to understand to what extent this paradigm of professionalism, worked in academic training, is expressed in the documents of practice regulation adopted by the reference communities (institutional, scientific and professional). The data collected and analyzed allow us to conclude that the heritage currently existing is diversified and quite rich, expressing a common value framework of humanistic nature. However, in general terms, it can be said that this heritage is still characterized by dispersion and fragmentation. On the other hand, the analyzed documents differ regarding the conceptual matrix and the type of commitments, which allows us to conclude that we are facing dynamics under construction, thus constituting a challenge within the initial training of social educators.
