Production of GT 20 Educational Psychology at ANPEd: expression of science, school education, and contemporary society. Educação. Porto Alegre [online]. 2023, vol.46, n.1, e44777. Epub Apr 02, 2024.

This paper is the result of an analysis of 79 papers presented in WG 20 - Educational Psychology, at ANPEd annual meetings from 2013 to 2021. It is understood that the papers presented express the academic production of Educational Psychology as a field of study and a discipline in the foundations of education. The aim of the study is to identify what the WG investigates, how it does so, the results achieved and their implications and developments, and the theoretical bases that support it. The papers were analyzed by reading the titles, authorship, institutional affiliation, keywords, objectives, methodology, theoretical framework, results and references. The analyses indicate a) criticism of psychology theories; b) contributions of critical theories to support teacher training and performance; c) conceptions of learning and development; d) theoretical matrices and tackling current problems; e) development of theoretical studies and field/applied research (especially in schools); f) integration of different fields of knowledge to compose the theoretical and methodological corpus of educational psychology; g) inclusive education in tackling inequalities; h) attention to individual suffering (of teachers and students) and i) schooling processes. It concludes with the importance of this WG as a space for aggregating and expressing the directions of science/academia, its relevance to education (at both levels, its stages and modalities) and to society in general, and, above all, that educational psychology is an exponential field for understanding and analyzing educational problems.
