Psicologia escolar e educacional na educação profissional e tecnológica: construindo práticas críticas

Abstract

The performance of the psychologist in the field of professional and technological education, which is still a short-lived one, is challenging, since there are few consolidated experiences in the field and, therefore, professional practice references are scarce. Based on this reality, the present work aims to present and discuss practices in school and educational psychology which are developed in the context of the Federal Institute of Ceará (IFCE), seeking to deepen the studies already carried out and to expand the area of theoretical and practical productions in the field. The information and analysis question, object of the present study, were raised in qualitative research with sixteen psychologists from IFCE who participated in a semi-structured interview that sought to approach the work of these professionals, the challenges of daily practice and their strategies of overcoming the obstacles of the job context. The results point to three main lines of action: individual psychological monitoring; execution of campaigns with other professionals of the Student Assistance and; development and elaboration of projects focused on students and academic community. This set of practices reflects the processes of transformation through which the work in school and educational psychology in professional, scientific and technological education goes through.
