Document Summary
Chapter 5: an introduction to theory and the domains of practice. Domain = sphere of influence or professional territory where you acquire expertise and are able to exert an influence on lives of young people and families. Seven domains: self, professionalism, communication, relationships, critically applied human development, systems context, interventions. Domains described here are based on a review of numerous documents that describe the competencies required for certification as a child and youth care practitioner. Child and youth care is an evolving practice-based discipline. Practice is the application of knowledge and theory. Professional practice is based on theory and knowledge generated by the discipline and disciplines evolve and develop in response to the needs in society as a whole. Field is more open to questioning itself and others regarding the underlying assumptions and beliefs about knowledge, power and standardized approaches to practice . Theory offers varied points of view and generates debate about explanations for behaviour and development.
