Context

Over the past 20 years, the Swiss social work education system has undergone profound transformations, including a multiplication of education levels. In the field of social education, there are now three different levels of diplomas: socio-educational assistant with a Federal Diploma of Vocational Education and Training (SEA), social educator with an Advanced Federal Diploma of Higher Education (SEH) and social educator with a Bachelor’s degree (SEU). This article investigates the relationship between social education professionals with different levels of diplomas working in institutions for persons with disabilities in French-speaking Switzerland. Fourty-six semi-structured interviews were conducted with employers and professionals regarding the recruitment practices, the division of labour and the collaboration among professionals.

Findings

Our study highlighted a balanced distribution between SEA socio-educational assistants, SEH social educators and SEU social educators within institutions. Two modalities of division of labour were also observed: ‘assimilation’ that makes no differences at a formal level between social education professionals and ‘differentiation’ that involves a distinction between SEA socio-educational assistants and SEH/SEU social educators. Finally, participants underlined a good collaboration between these professionals.

Applications

Both assimilation and differentiation revealed at first sight a divergence between the introduction of three levels in the Swiss social work education system and the reality of the division of labour and the collaboration between SEA socio-educational assistants, SEH social educators and SEU social educators in institutions for persons with disabilities. Considering the recent reforms of social work education as well as the economic and political uncertainties surrounding social institutions in the field of disability, further research is required to examine how the relationship between the three professional profiles evolves.

在残疾人机构工作的具有不同教育水平的社会教育专业人员之间的关系

语境

在过去的20年中，瑞士的社会工作教育体系经历了深刻的变革，其中包括教育水平的提高。在社会教育领域，现在有三个不同级别的文凭：具有职业教育和培训联邦文凭（SEA）的社会教育助理，具有高级联邦高等教育文凭（SEH）的社会教育者和具有高级联邦文凭的社会教育者。学士学位（SEU）。本文研究了在瑞士法语区为残疾人提供服务的具有不同文凭水平的社会教育专业人员之间的关系。与雇主和专业人员进行了46项关于招聘实践，分工和专业人员之间合作的半结构化访谈。

发现

我们的研究强调了机构内部的SEA社会教育助手，SEH社会教育者和SEU社会教育者之间的平衡分配。还观察到两种分工方式：“同化”在社会教育专业人员之间在正式层面上没有区别；“分化”则将SEA社会教育助手与SEH / SEU社会教育者区分开。最后，与会人员强调了这些专业人员之间的良好合作。

应用领域

同化和差异化乍一看都表明，在瑞士社会工作教育体系中引入三个层次与分工的现实以及SEA社会教育助手，SEH社会教育者和SEU社会教育者在机构中的合作之间存在分歧。针对残疾人。考虑到社会工作教育的最新改革以及残疾领域中社会机构周围的经济和政治不确定性，需要进一步研究以研究这三个职业概况之间的关系如何演变。
