Abstract

The pioneers in social work believed education as an instrument of social change and reform. Was conceived at the hands of the pragmatists and interaction as a key element in the configuration of the individual mind because it only forms in social relations. Therefore claimed that it should be widely promoted and, therefore, filled the seats of the settlements of classrooms and libraries. Away from the influence of biological determinism, predestination and the social evolution of society blamed the configuration process of the individual mind. In the individual-society discussion concluded that we must always take into account individual factors but also and at the same level, social factors. An education system stems from social rela- tionships and is essential for the formation of what we call the human mind, man, says Richmond.
