BETWEEN KNOWLEDGE AND PRACTICES: NARRATIVES AND EXPERIENCES IN THE BRAZILIAN CONTEXT ABOUT THE IMPACT OF PSYCHOPEDAGOGY ON PROFESSIONAL LIFE

Abstract

This study aims to understand, through autobiographical narratives, the impacts of psychopedagogy on the professional lives of psychopedagogues in different contexts in Brazil. Based on the qualitative approach and (auto)biographical methodology, the work values the experiences, meanings and paths constructed by these professionals. Data collection took place in four virtual meetings, held in a WhatsApp group composed of nine psychopedagogues from different regions of the country, who shared their trajectories, motivations, challenges and achievements in the exercise of psychopedagogical practice. The results reveal that psychopedagogy tends to promote transformations in professional practices, in addition to contributing significantly to the construction of identities, strengthening networks and redefining trajectories, reaffirming its social and formative role in the face of contemporary educational challenges.
