The objective of the investigation was the contemporaneity of the Academical Formation of the Social Work Professionals, according to the University Reforms and the Social Political Situation of our Country, based on the study of two big dimensions, one was the process of the Academical formation of the Social Workers of the UNAH, and the Study Plan adopted by the Career in 1999, which was used up to 2012; and the other one was the Social Worker Union in Honduras. The process of the investigation was developed from an interpretative and critical paradigm, under a methodological, qualitative and phenomenological approach with a systemic procedure. The investigation techniques applied were a very well structured interview, a semi-structured interview, focal groups, and the analysis of the content.
Among the main results, we found that the four blocks of the Academical formation are not clear enough conceptualized or articulated methodologically, talking. There is a lack of statements related to the Ethic -political compromise of the profession; it is also evident the lack of a conceptualization and a fragmentation from the perspective of a methodological – theory, of, and, among the intermediate ant final Practicums. In conclusion, the Study Plan of the Social Work Career and its Professional Profile needs to be updated, taking into consideration the complexity of the social issues. So, it is needed to implement the New Educative Model 0f the UNAH, incorporating the investigation, as a main task, along the formation process.
Talking about the Union Organization, there is not any link between the Union of The Social Professional Workers of Honduras and the School of Social Work of the UNAH, so it is mandatory to establish some proposals by the Union of the Social Worker side, before the real situation of the Honduran Society that diminishes his belligerence before it.
