Formação em psicologia: análise dos aspectos estruturais de um curso de graduação

Abstract

On basis of previous research, the objective of the present study was to investigate the structural aspects of the Psychology Course of FFCLRP-USP. Faculty members, contracted psychologists, volunteer supervisors, 2nd to 5th year students and graduate students participated in the study, for a total of 72 subjects. Data were collected using open questions based on a set of systematized information on the curricular structure of the course and analysed by content category analysis. The results indicated 6 categories of more general consideration of the course as a whole and 16 categories that focused on specific parts of a course, and their analysis suggests that the absence of a commom project for the undergraduate course has favored a dense, but fragmented, type of training, permitting early pseudospecializations, and that this disequilibrium in training is linked to emphasis on the quantitative model as a foundation of scientific training and the clinical-diadic model as the foundation of professional training.
