Abstract
The objective of this research was to investigate the role of School Psychology according to the conception of teachers of a Municipal Center for Early Childhood Education (CMEI) and a Municipal Elementary School (EMEF), both located in the city of Vitória (ES). Individual interviews were held with 49 teachers and a trainee, 26 of CMEI and 24 EMEF. The data were analyzed qualitatively through content analysis. It was found that for the respondents the performance of the school psychologist should be mainly focused on the student "problem" and his family. However, critical and contextualized perspective of School Psychology emphasizes that the school psychologist should intervene broadly with all stakeholders in the development process and teaching and student learning, including the school itself, professionals and the community.
