Family probation officer as an educator of many faces. The work of a family probation officer in the field as a reflective educational practice

Summary/Abstract: The main purpose of the article was to illustrate the general model of work of family probation officers working in the centre of big city. In the text, I focused not only on methodical aspects, but also on reflexivity and the approach to the relationship that the probation officer builds with the ward. For this purpose, I adopted a theoretical perspective, referred to as „pedagogy” in the scientific literature. The collected data, on the basis of which I developed the presented results, comes from qualitative research conducted in two districts of Łódź – Śródmieście and Bałuty (Stare Bałuty). The theoretical inspiration was the assumptions of symbolic interactionism. I used ethnography, and the course of analysis of the acquired data was determined by the procedures of grounded theory methodology. As a result, I identified various forms of actions of a family probation officer in the field, which include: waiting, reaching out, concern for subjective treatment, risking, remaining vigilant and flexible action.
