Abstract

Having as its basis some considerations about the theoretical/methodological assumpnons underlyng the training in psychology, with special emphasis upon the case of the school psychologist, this article reports on a survey carried out among trainees nd the schools where they served their professional training period. The aim of the survey was mainly to collect data about activities developed during the training period and difficulties faced in perfoming them. It also aimed at obtaining from the trainees and the school staffs suggestions aimed at the improvement of the training process. Through the analysis of the data the survey has provided us with a wider understanding of the working of the training in School Psychology within Universidade Federal do Ceará.
