This text is about the search to understand the importance and disciplinary contents linked to Psychology in the first decade of operation, within 1960 and 1970, of the Pedagogy Course of the former Faculty of Philosophy, Sciences, and Letters of Uberlandia (Minas Gerais, Brazil). It was based on the ideas of Certeau (1979), Chervel (1990), Santos (2007), and Goodson (2008 and 2010). By examining the disciplinary contents, as well as the testimony of one egress student of the course, it was perceived the significant presence of psychological knowledge, with more than a discipline, offered throughout the course, which reached a fifth of the total working hours (570h/c, in 2800h/c). Besides the traditional General and Educational Psychology, it was possible to know the discipline called Especial Psychology, in which, at the time, emphasized Psychopathology knowledge. The conclusion was that Psychology was central in the formation of educators at the Faculty of Philosophy, Sciences, and Letters of Uberlandia in the first decade of the Pedagogy Course, even with the difficulties concerning teachers' qualifications, which impaired the specificity of the educational theme.
