This paper analyses the teaching of Psychology in the initial teacher training courses (higher education), proceeding a review of studies and research of the past three decades. From this retrospect the paper summarizes what we learned in this period, the problems which persist in our scenario, demanding new questions and deeds. In this paper, we consider the context of curricular reforms and research data which indicates the persistence of many old problems. We argue that the persistence of these problems is directly linked to the maintenance of the pivotal metaphor in the Psychology of Education, proposing the relevance of changing its status towards a theoretical- practical subject.
