It has as a scenario the current context of expansion of Psychology regarding the diversification of practice, public and the expansion of federal public universities, which significantly increased the insertion of students from different regions in these institutions. With a theoretical-methodological foundation in the Theory of Social Representations, it is a study that analyzes the social representations in a context of professional formation, which implies to focus on the representational movements, the dialogical relations and tensions between the knowledge, besides it’s sociogenesis (Markova, 2006; Moscovic, 2005; Wagner, 2000). Thus, it starts from a dialogical epistemology of social representations, which are understood as a social knowledge formed from dialogicity, dynamics and historicity (MARKOVÁ, 2006). Therefore, the study is anchored in the guidelines of the qualitative research and counted with the union of three methodological procedures: the documentary analysis, the Free Word Association Technique and the focus group. The first one was dedicated to the analysis of the Pedagogical Project of the course mentioned through the strategy described in Seixas et al. (2013). The second one was carried out with 169 students distributed over the five years of Psychology, which corresponds to the five classes due to the enrollment in the course to be annual. The participants evoked words from the hearing of the term "psychologist", and such evocations were analyzed through the content analysis technique of the thematic type (BARDIN, 2004). The focus group, in turn, had the participation of twelve students from all classes of the course over five meetings. These moments were videotaped and the conversations transcribed and analyzed through the technique of content analysis, focusing on the unit of record of the referent type (BARDIN, 2004). The results were analyzed in a complementary and integrated way and signaled a social representation about the psychologist focused on the traditional clinical design, however the formative process in which the students are immersed, with tensions of knowledge and with the context of formation in Psychology in the interior has been propitiating opening to the presence of other traces to this drawing, provoking movements in the screen representations. In this way, it concluded with the emphasis on the necessary understanding that the formative process has a polyphasic character, in the sense of the relations between distinct knowledges, which must be observed and placed in dialogue throughout the formation.Acesso AbertoRepresentações sociaisAtuação do psicólogoFormação do psicólogoInteriorização universitáriaUniversidade públicadoctoralThesisCNPQ::CIENCIAS HUMANAS::EDUCACAO
