Abstract

In recent studies of a global pandemic initiated by the SARS-CoV-2, which resulted, among several developments, in the isolation and closure of environments such as schools, this qualitative exploratory research intends to carry out a survey of the interventions and possibilities of psychologists from a municipal basic education of the State of São Paulo, passing through online education and the return to presential education in 2020 until nowadays. The research will have two sources of data: documental and empirical. In the documental scope it will analyze the state and municipal laws that constituted public education actions in the face of the advance of the Coronavirus. In the empirical scope, interviews will be carried out with educational psychologists from a municipal basic education. The analysis of critical productions will be based on the perspective of Historical-Cultural Psychology considering the emancipatory dimension of education. Therefore, this research will analyze the complexity that constitutes the performance of school psychologists and the need for articulation in multidisciplinary and intersectoral actions, with the aim of building a critical, emancipatory and quality school.
