Entendida como a capacidade que os sujeitos profissionais adquirem de dar respostas ?s demandas que se colocam ? profiss?o, constroe-se s?cio-historicamente, num conflito de teleologias e causalidades.

A te?rico-metodol?gica refere-se ? capacidade de apreens?o do m?todo e das teorias e, por conseguinte, da rela??o que faz com a pr?tica. A dimens?o ?tico-pol?tica diz respeito ao desenvolvimento da capacidade de analisar a sociedade e a pr?pria profiss?o como campo de for?as contradit?rias, considerando-se o car?ter eminentemente pol?tico do exerc?cio profissional, assim como a consci?ncia do profissional acerca da dire??o social que imprime em sua interven??o.
