Cet ouvrage aborde les outils principaux de la statistique descriptive pour résoudre des questions très concrètes telles que :
* Comment construire ou interpréter de manière critique des tableaux de données ou des graphiques ?
* Comment travailler avec des proportions (ratios, pourcentages, etc.), avec des mesures d'évolution (nombres-indices), de tendance centrale (moyenne, mode, ..) et de dispersion (variance, espace interquartile, ...) ?
* Comment donner du sens aux chiffres ? S’adressant en priorité à des praticiens occasionnellement ou régulièrement amenés dans leur vie quotidienne à produire ou interpréter des données statistiques, sans avoir aucune expertise particulière préalable dans le domaine, l'ouvrage a été résolument conçu dans une perspective d'auto-apprentissage . Écrit dans un langage clair et accessible, il abonde en exemples concrets et exercices corrigés, principalement dans le champ économique, politique, social ou éducatif.Il intéressera les professionnels dans les domaines des sciences sociales, de l'éducation et de la santé mais aussi les professeurs et les étudiants des 1er et 2e cycles en sciences humaines.

This textbook provides a grounding in complexity theory, demonstrating how it can influence and shape social work interventions in policy, management, and practice, as well as forming an epistemological and methodological basis for research. It provides a contemporary theoretical basis for social work practice, equipping social workers to work in a 21st-Century world. The authors argue that the history of social work demonstrates the profession's engagement with the social and structural problems of each era since its emergence 150 years ago. However, in the 21st Century, such things as globalisation, the COVID-19 pandemic, and climate change have highlighted that existing theories and practice models are insufficient to the task of working with the complicatedness of contemporary life in a fast-changing world. Distilling the central tenets of Complexity Theory and the notion of complex adaptive systems in partnership with pragmatism, the book provides practice perspectives and guidelines which build on social work's enduring commitment to understanding the person-in-context. The recognition that social workers require conceptual and theoretical agility to work across micro, meso and macro 'levels' remains central, but the argument is made that their focus and practice must primarily be at the meso level. The authorship of combined academic and practice expertise enables such perspectives to be brought to life through the theoretical and practical analysis of conceptual and 'real-world' challenges. The book consists of 13 chapters organized in three sections: Part I: Complex Practice in a Complex World Part II: Thinking Complexity in Practice Part III: Thinking Complexity in Public Policy, Research and Education Complexity Theory for Social Work Practice encourages social workers to 'think complexity' and 'act pragmatically'. It is intended for final-year social work students; academics and researchers working in a range of disciplines, primarily in the social work field but also in the areas of sociology, psychology and anthropology; and practitioners in policy, research, management and practice settings. .

This book makes an original and internationally acclaimed contribution to ecosocial work education. As the conduit for preparing social workers to become active agents of ecosocial change, critical attention is given to the importance of education as foundational to this professional endeavour. This book provides essential reading for all social work professionals, scholars, educators, and learning institutions. Heather Boetto, Associate Professor, Charles Stuart University, Australia. A comprehensive book about the challenges and opportunities of teaching the ecosocial framework in social work. Various perspectives open up new possibilities for understanding the practices of teaching ecosocial work in different contexts. A strong reading recommendation for anyone interested in understanding and teaching the relationship between social work and environmental issues. Kati Närhi, Professor, University of Jyväskylä, Finland. This book aims to champion teaching and learning of ecosocial work in educational institutions which offer social work and related programmes. It is the first book to focus specifically on teaching and learning in ecosocial work and one of the first to incorporate student perspectives on and initiatives in ecosocial work teaching, learning and practice. Ecosocial work is an evolving framework to learn about and practice social work from the premise that humans are part of the web of life on Earth. While this understanding should guide human activities, current planetary-scale anthropogenic socio-environmental problems such as the climate crisis, ocean acidification, biodiversity and species loss, prove the opposite. Social work and allied professions stem from the same anthropocentric world view and need to reconfigure their relationship to other-than-humans and the planetary limits of existence. This requires in-depth renewal of social work and related professions and an ecosocial/ecological paradigm change in which education is pivotal. Written by academics, students and practitioners working in different parts of the world and offering interdisciplinary perspectives, the book provides: chapters and case studies on concepts, methods, and experiences of teaching and learning in ecosocial work. discussion of the current terrain of ecosocial work in principle and practice. ideas on the kinds of new thinking ecosocial work requires and on how these can be taught and practiced, promoting economic, social and environmental sustainability.
