Foregrounded on Historical and Cultural Psychology, current research discusses the formation
provided by Psychology Courses in the state of Paraná, Brazil, so that undergraduates could
understand and evaluate students with schooling difficulties. Fourteen teacher-training course
supervisors from seven higher education institutions of the state of Paraná were interviewed. Results
show that within the context of the formation of Psychologists the comprehension of school
complaints is bonded to social issues and is de-linked from individuals’ blameworthiness in schooling
failures. Schooling formation should lead students to understand the historical and social determinants
that affect the appropriation of knowledge and contribute towards a type of intervention that promotes
the individuals’ highest development.
