Abstract:

Structualization is a relatively new approach to social service, but it reflects the principles and concepts of many theories, such as the ecological approach, the system approach and the strengthening approach, which is based on the knowledge of social service. In its essence, the use in the arts, mathematics, literature, philosophy, social and behavioral sciences is found to be more ancient, this approach has many common aspects that match the basic concepts of social service. In structuration, which includes the epistemological perspective that individuals create their own realities as a result of their interactions with their surroundings, there is an understanding that individuals tend to interpret events on the basis of cognitive schemes in their respective interactions. The ecological view that deals with the individual in social service within the environment points out the importance of the environment in the creation of the realities of the contractors. In this context, structuring is an appropriate approach to the environmental-cognitive structure analysis that stands out in social service. There are fewer studies in social service literature in our country that include the use of postmodern theories. Therefore, in this article, which aims to contribute to the knowledge base of social service, one of the postmodern approaches, the historical and philosophical processes of structural theory, which describes the use in social service.
