(Bacalah teks dengan cermat!)

There are two crucial points on the topic of education and training of future educational psychologists. They are: the space and context of the school/educational psychologist’s performance; and the psychology undergraduate course curriculum.

On the first point, it is understood and defended that there is a big difference between being an educational psychologist on the staff of a school, and acting as a school psychologist in a private office outside the institution.

Even though the profession is defined by education (degree) and the purpose of the work (responding to school’s demands), it is understood that the local/position in which the professional stands makes a big difference in the role of its actions. 

Consequently, different elements are required in the process of the individual’s education/training, such as: knowledge about educational policies, organization and laws; training to deal with institution dynamic and continued education, etc.

On the second point, it is defended that the school environment and the whole structure that delimits this space should be considered when choosing disciplines and the method of knowledge construction for undergraduate curricula design, thereby expanding the professional’s insight into other knowledge fields, such as education and politics, among others.

About the curriculum related to the performance of educational psychologists outside (as consultants or autonomous professionals) and inside the school (as part of the teacher/functionary board), a discussion is proposed between the professional practice and the reflections enabled by the application of the Network of Meanings concept, which may show, among others, connections between elements.
