RODRIGUES, Francisco Neylon de Souza. The subject who learns in higher education: the theoretical construction of undergraduate psychology students. Obutchénie: R. de Didat. e Psic. Pedag. [online]. 2022, vol.6, n.3, a2022-59342. Epub Oct 02, 2025. ISSN 2526-7647. https://doi.org/10.14393/obv6n3.a2022-59342.
This work seeks to understand the theoretical construction of undergraduate psychology students belonging to the eighth semester of a private higher education institution in Brasília. We worked with a problem situation whose purpose was to understand, from the students' answers, if there is a singular production of the subject who learns in his answer or if he randomly reproduces theories. For this, we used the Qualitative Epistemological Research (1997, 2002, 2005) and the Theory of Subjectivity (2003, 2004a, 2007), whose author is the Cuban psychologist Gonzalez Rey, in the methodological-theoretical preparation. Few students were able to generate a creative response to the problem situation. What we saw was theoretical mimicry, the dichotomization of psychological phenomena, a-historical analysis of man, and knowledge based on the principles of positivism in the responses.
