The course shall promote learning about the central explanatory models and theories of social pedagogy and its links with various related disciplines. Taking part in the course shall train the ability to build broad social pedagogical professionalism, and further develop knowledge of the societal, institutional, relational and individual perspectives of social pedagogy. This means that the course covers relatively broad social pedagogical fields of work from individual, group and societal perspectives. The student builds knowledge of and skills in different social pedagogical approaches and methods. The pedagogical perspective of social pedagogy is emphasised. Methods with established evidence are covered in the course, but so is the need, in the work, to develop practice theory and the co-creation of approaches and interaction strategies in real time. Not least in relation to establishing work and treatment alliances with people in the target groups of social pedagogical work.
