School Psychology in the COVID-19 pandemic scenario: resignifying times and spaces for institutional action

Abstract:

The spread of Coronavirus Disease 2019 triggered a serious crisis and was classified as a pandemic in March 2020. Countless phenomena arose from this unprecedented event in recent history. In this connection, School Psychology has much to contribute as an area of scientific production, research and intervention. This theoretical article aimed to present critical reflections on actions, reactions and investigations in the area during the pandemic. Surveys of national and international literature in the period and theoretical and reflective contributions to the work in School Psychology were presented, highlighting topics such as: school inclusion, institutional work and continuing education. The conclusions showed that, although the Coronavirus Disease 2019 pandemic has created challenges for the school psychologist, a number transformations and advances have occurred such as the strengthening of the spirit of people who courageously remained working, teaching and learning. The topics discussed provided powerful indicators of resistance from the perspective of a school success culture extending beyond the pandemic period.
