Robert K. Merton, entre las contribuciones que realiza al funcionalismo, conceptualiza como funciones manifiestas a las consecuencias objetivas observadas que son buscadas y reconocidas; también, denomina funciones latentes a aquellas que no lo son. Esta distinción puede facilitar una vía metodológica para el análisis funcional de las instituciones sociales y conducir hacia la observación y posterior estudio de sus funciones latentes. La Educación Social es una profesión y una metodología de la intervención en el contexto de lo social. Partiendo de sus funciones manifiestas, se realiza una propuesta de análisis de las posibles funciones latentes de las instituciones públicas donde se desarrolla.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[ABSTRACT The functionalist or utilitarian paradigm, despite the critics received, is still in force in the current situation of social sciences. Robert K. Merton, among his contributions to functionalism, conceptualizes as manifest functions the observed and objective consequences which are searched for and recognized. He names latent functions those which are not. This distinction can provide with a methodological way for the functional analysis of our social institutions and lead us towards the observation and later study of their latent functions. Social Education is a profession and intervention methodology in social context. Starting from its manifest functions, a proposal is made to analyze the possible latent functions of the public institutions where it is carried out.]]></p></abstract>
