In searching for a reaction against a bureaucratic, elitist and walled in psychology, psychologists try to translate the knowledge this science has been producing regarding the teaching-learning process with the purpose of promoting its comprehension. In reacting to a view of science which is said to be able to identify the origins of the problems from the simple application of psychological tests, analyses of drawings or school materials, without taking into account the context and the relations that are established, psychologists try to show teachers that there is not just one possibility of analyses and that, depending on the theoretical framework adopted, several hypotheses from the same problem might emerge. We have witnessed the reactions of the teachers concerning the action of Psychology at school. But we wonder: is it the action of Psychology that creates these reactions, or is it the use of Psychology at schools? Together with teachers and professionals who work in educational contexts, as well as with other educational sciences, we have the possibility of constituting and building a set of pedagogical and educational knowledge in order to promote a quality of teaching which meets the new demands of the students who go to elementary school.

Keywords : Teaching of Psychology; Psychology and Elementary School; Reflectivity.
