Abstract
This article presents a research carried out by the Faculty of Education of the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG), Brazil and the Higher Institute of Education Sciences of the University 11 de Novembro (UON), Angola. We tried to answer questions: "who searches for what" and "for what", in the field of educational psychology. The methodology provided immersion in both realities through study and work assignments where UFMG professors and students were at UON in Angola and professors and students from that university were at UFMG, Brazil. He relied on ethnographic principles in Operational Groups. The results led us to: understand the social reality of Cabinda in contrast to the Brazilian reality; to construct a new identity for the ISCED-UON psychology professional; to implant the Laboratory of Psychology, Psychoanalysis and Education (LPPE) and the Research Line, as a possible answer to the demands of production of knowledge of the reality of Cabinda / Angola.
