The article discusses the limits and possibilities for the construction of a critical teacher education, based on the Psychology of Education curricular component in a public university. The path taken was through field and document analysis in the light of dialectical historical materialism. It reflects about psychology as a science and academic curricular component and the place it occupies in the field of education in the production and reproduction of knowledge. A fundamental question guided the research: how can psychology contribute to the process of critical teacher education in higher education? Unveiling the naturalization of the formation of human beings and social relations and weaving notes on failure and school medicalization. The results point to the relevance of Educational Psychology in a critical perspective towards transforming into reality the possibilities of dense training within the classroom, contributing to a praxis in line with the interests of the working class.

Keywords : educational psychology; teacher training; critical education in higher education.
