Práticas educativas desenvolvidas pelo psicólogo nos espaços da EPT

Abstract

This research aims to investigate the practices of school psychologists in educational spaces of Professional and Technological Education (EPT). It is grounded in the understanding of School Psychology as a theoretical-practical field in continuous reconstruction, revisiting the historical trajectory of the profession since the Colonial Brazil period and highlighting its intrinsic relationship with education. The study population consists of psychologists who are members of the permanent staff at the campuses of the Farroupilha Federal Institute. The investigation adopts a qualitative approach and was conducted in two stages. Initially, a questionnaire was administered through Google Forms in order to identify the participants' educational and professional backgrounds. In the second stage, semi-structured interviews were carried out via Google Meet. The methodological framework was based on the reflexive interview method, followed by reflexive data analysis, in accordance with Szymanski (2018). Data analysis enabled the organization of findings into five macro-axes: (1) Education and Professional Constitution of the Psychologist's Practice in EPT; (2) Everyday Educational Practices of the Psychologist in EPT; (3) Work in Institutional Groups, Centers, and Projects; (4) Networked Action and the Systemic Dimension of Practice; and (5) Challenges of Educational Practice. The results indicate that the educational practices developed by psychologists in Professional and Technological Education are configured as an ethical, institutional, and collective praxis, materialized through welcoming actions, qualified listening, pedagogical articulation, and network-based work. These practices are oriented toward the promotion of inclusion, student retention, and academic success, even within contexts marked by institutional challenges and professional workload demands. Based on the data produced, an educational product in textual format was developed and published in a peer-reviewed journal in the field of education, aimed at strengthening the educational practices carried out by psychologists in EPT. This research is linked to Research Line 1 Educational Practices in Professional and Educational Practices in the Technological Education, within Macroproject 3 Integrated Curriculum, of the Professional Master's Program in Professional and Technological Education - ProfEPT.
