TEACHER TRAINING COURSES IN THE PSYCHOLOGY: OVERVIEW IN THE 21st CENTURY

Abstract

The hominization process leads to the development of the individual in the world. It is clear that
the alliance between Psychology and Education promotes the development of society by
expanding this process. Since its recognition as a profession, in Brazil, in 1962, Psychology has
already taken the perspective of education for the modality of teacher training courses, however
with the changes in educational policies, this has been forgotten. Nevertheless, since the LDB, of
1996, there is a resumption of such an educational modality that gains strength in the 21st century
progresses. In this sense, this article takes up the evolution of the legislation of the Psychology
undergraduate curriculum guidelines that deal with the teacher training courses in the Psychology.
Based on the documentary discussion, a survey was carried out of the HEIs that offer the option of
this emphasis to the degree. Such data were sought from the respective registers of HEIs at eMEC, and from the matrix of each institution As result, it was found that 543 HEIs offer degrees
in psychology, of these, it was possible to analyze the matrices of 470 institutions. Of these, it was
found that 425 institutions do not offer the teacher training courses in Psychology curriculum. The
45 which offer may help to think in the discussion about what are the difficulties and obstacles to
such implementation, as well as the consideration of the associated loss for the training of
Psychology professionals, as well as for the development of society in general, which does not
have the offer of such discussions in the training of education students at the most diverse levels
of teaching and teaching modalities.
