NUNES, Liliane dos Guimarães Alvim  and  SILVA, Sílvia Maria Cintra da. A psicologia escolar e as professoras das séries iniciais: um olhar sobre o cotidiano docente. Educ. Puc. [online]. 2010, n.29, pp.211-222. ISSN 1519-3993.

This work is a report of a study performed with teachers who teach children in the initial grades at a public state elementary school located in the city of Uberlândia (MG), Brazil. The interviewed teachers complained of pupils’ disinterest, indiscipline and lack of family support, great number of students per class, shortage of material and inadequate space and students who present learning difficulties. This study verified that the expectation of the teachers is that students with difficulties should be individually assisted by psychologists so that they can reach a satisfactory level of learning and be able to keep up with classmates of the same age. For the teachers clinical psychological work at the school (or out of it), might be a way of solving the difficulties presented by the students.

Keywords : Teacher Training; Teaching Practice; School Psychology.
