The Expression of Subjectivity in the School Psychologist’s Performance

Abstract

This article aims to analyze how the subjective constitution of the psychologist is expressed in his performance in the school context. The Theory of Subjectivity, in a cultural-historical perspective, and the principles of Qualitative Epistemology were used in the process of interpretive construction of information. The qualitative research was carried out with a school psychologist at a public school in a large city in the Midwest region of the country. Conversational systems and instruments supported by written and unwritten inducers were used and informal moments and observations were carried out. We conclude that professional performance is marked by subjective productions generated in different areas of life that are expressed in school daily life often assuming preponderance to the political and pedagogical guidelines of this performance. This finding points to the need to rethink the training of the school psychologist by creating reflective spaces about professional practice and about the psychologists themselves, so that there is a balance between subjectivity, knowledge, and practice in the profession.
