Abstract − This article presents approximate summaries that were constructed through studies and research carried out by two research groups on professional training in social work at a state university of Parana, Brazil. Through a literature review, the article proposes to recover the different formative projects that were present in the socio-historical trajectory of Brazilian social work. Starting from the curricular guidelines of 1996, it problematizes the graduate course structure, taking in consideration the tendency to privatize that predominates in Brazilian higher education and that brings repercussions in the professional formation in social work. It points out elements to deepen the debate on the subject in question, reaffirming the task of training social workers considering the dual nature of the profession: analytical and interventional. Keywords: social work; professional training; professional practice; analytical and interventional nature.
