LIMA, Cárita Portilho de. The organization of study activity challenges in the teacher’s training context1. Obutchénie: R. de Didat. e Psic. Pedag. [online]. 2024, vol.8, e2024-4.  Epub 05-Jul-2025. ISSN 2526-7647.  https://doi.org/10.14393/obv8.e2024-4.

In this theoretical essay, we aim to discuss the challenges related to the realization of studying activities in Brazilian public universities, especially in teacher education programs. To support this debate, we first analyze the social and educational project historically adopted by Brazilian public universities and the necessary project for education inspired by the principles of historical-cultural psychology. We also reflect on the historical problems in teacher education in Brazil and the dominance of privatization in this field. Lastly, we discuss the limits that define the concrete conditions of studying for teacher education students in the context of student retention and mental health. Based on these analytical, the aim is to defend the thesis that the critical and revolutionary power of historical-cultural psychology, expressed through its theoretical- methodological framework, will contribute to addressing the educational problems in Brazil as we start from a concrete analysis of the conditions, problems, contradictions, and challenges faced by professionals, families, students, activists, and researchers in the field of school education in our country. As a synthesis of the conclusions reached, there is a perceived need for profound changes in university education and teacher training, especially regarding the confrontation of the logic and ethics of privatism, elitism, pragmatism, and utilitarianism that have historically dominated these fields.
