Abstract
This study records perceptions and expectations of psychology degree students about Scholar Psychology and the possibilities of psychologist actions in Education. The sample included 48 undergraduate Psychology students of Public and Private Higher Education Institutions. A socio-demographic questionnaire and a semi-structured interview recorded via voice recorder were applied then analyzed according to the guidelines presented in Bardin’s method. The results showed that there were differences in arguments used among psychology students who had taken disciplines of Scholar and Educational Psychology field and those who had not yet studied such disciplines, which indicates that training including disciplines of this field can foster greater theoretical and methodological appropriation of particularities of this area and psychologists’ possibilities of acting in education, especially regarding commitment to learning and human development processes.
