摘要本文以社会教育学为例，它是社会专业中一个重要但被广泛误解的成员，作为一个例子，说明只有通过探索方法范式的历史根源和轨迹，我们才能希望了解它们的当代性，跨国家和跨文化的相关性。它将社会教育学的兴起定位为德国民族国家发展的历史背景下的一种方法和一套社会政策机构，其与社团主义，保守的福利国家模式的特殊关系。这说明的与其说是在特定历史条件下的一种独特的发展，不如说是社会政策和社会工作方法之间错综复杂的相互关系，而这正是所有社会中这一职业的一个特点。通过分析这种与社会政策的密切关系的动态，这导致了社会工作作为半专业的模糊声誉，可以更清晰地确定与当代社会政策发展的理论参与的条件。这是必要的，例如，在英国的社会关怀的重要性日益上升的关系，这似乎尚未在理论上的发展。社会教育学范式的相似之处和不同之处只能在分析各自与社会政策的关系的背景下才能发现。这反过来又突出表明，专业社会工作，无论以何种名义从事，都必须批判性地观察和促进社会政策的形成，以便重新获得专业主动性。
Summary This paper treats the case of social pedagogy, which is an important but widely misunderstood member of the social professions, as an example of how only by exploring the historical roots and trajectories of methods paradigms can we hope to understand their contemporary, cross-national and cross-cultural relevance. It locates the rise of social pedagogy as both a method and as a set of social policy institutions in the historical context of the development of the German nation state with its particular relationship to a corporatist, conservative model of the welfare state. This illustrates not so much a singular development under particular historical circumstances, but the intricate interrelationship between social policies and social work methods which are a feature of this profession in all societies. By analysing the dynamics of this close relationship with social policy, which gave rise to the ambiguous reputation of social work as a semi-profession, the conditions of a theoretical engagement with contemporary social policy developments can be determined with much greater clarity. This is necessary, for instance, in relation of the rising importance of social care in the UK—a development which appears as yet under-theorized. Parallels and differences to the social pedagogy paradigm can only be discerned against the background of the analysis of the respective relationship to social policy. This, in turn, underlines the necessity for professional social work, under whatever title it is practised, to critically observe and contribute to the shaping of social policies in order to regain the professional initiative.
