Review of literatura on school psychology in professional, scientific and technological education

Abstract

Considering the difficulties that the school psychologist has historically faced in order to legitimize his workspace as a member of the technical teams of public schools and the significant increase of psychologists in the network of professional and technological education in the last years, this research aims to problematize the which has been produced on school psychology in this context. A survey was carried out in databases in the first half of 2017 and 34 publications were selected. We have identified that all publications are recent, published since 2009 and have a greater geographic concentration in the Midwest, Northeast and South regions. Discussions about specific issues of students' school life and about the identity of the school psychologist predominate. We note the influence of criticism on the traditional models of school psychology intervention in the works. On the other hand, there is a need for greater emphasis on the problematization of institutional contexts, as well as on the conditions that produce and perpetuate school demands.
