A EDUCAÇÃO BÁSICA E O PROFISSIONAL DE PSICOLOGIA: SUA REAL IMPORTÂNCIA NAS ESCOLAS EM TEMPO INTEGRAL NO BRASIL

Abstract

Education in Brazil is historically marked with setbacks and slow progress that reflects in the way that the basic education is neglected. The schools inside our sprawling territory not only are short in professionals but also suffer with the low investments and resources to keep active. Also, it is possible to notice that, besides having records of – failed – attempts to contract psychologists back in the 1960’s, today a gap is seen between the professionals and their recruitment by schools, which make a barrier that hinder progress. Nowadays, the psychologists do more school-oriented research when they could be also researching the teachers’ methodologies. The terminology is still confusing for being a vaguely explored segment, in this way, the rapprochement is needed so that the improvement on the teaching and learning process as long as a universalization of education is conceivable. Based on the exposed, this study aims to verify the effectiveness of the future psychology professionals’ accession in basic education school, full-time. Along with this, conceptualizing basic education and presenting the main features of the Educational Psychology and School Psychology are also goals to be developed in this paper, in addition to recognizing which are the benefits from the psychologist’s participation in schools and analyzing if this integration will promote improvements on the teaching and learning process and on the universalization of education. This was made through a bibliographical, qualitative and exploratory research, and the outcome showed that the impact of the integrating psychologists in education is likely to be positive and compatible with the field’s expectation of being explored and accepted.
