The article has the objective of reconstructing the different conceptualizations about the knowledge of work in Argentina, in recent times. The methodological design adopted is of a qualitative-descriptive type that develops a bibliographic and documentary review, aimed at finding relationships and meanings between different conceptual and legislative contributions on the subject, from the 1990s to the present. The conclusions indicate that the idea of knowledge for work is not neutral, rather, it implies understanding it in connection with social, political and economic dimensions, within the framework of certain education models.

This article invites us to reflect on the meaning of labor as a human activity and its educational implications. It stems from the idea of work as a means of development and growth. Through work man puts in practice capacities and abilities developed mostly during professional formation. In the first placed a brief analysis is made of the difference between work and a job, since these concepts are usually used with the same meaning, and their importance and reach is very different. In second place a reflection is made on the educational value of work as a means of development and self fulfillment. This will give way to the analysis of the requirements and demands of professional exercise. Basically, the idea is to emphasize, from a pedagogical point of view, the importance of family and school as the most valuable educational agents in the development of the human person and how this contributes to a better professional training and work performance.
