TURCI, Deolinda Armani; CIRINO, Sérgio Dias  and  LOURENCO, Érika. The Teaching License Degree in Psychology in the 1960s: A Case Study of the UFMG Course. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2020, vol.20, n.3, pp.976-992. ISSN 1808-4281.  https://doi.org/10.12957/epp.2020.54360.

In the intent to understand the place of the Teaching License Degree in the training of psychologists, right after the Law nº 4119/62, this article presents the case study on the insertion of the Teaching License Degree in Psychology course of the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG) during the decade of 1960 and its contributions to the former students, who entered this period. The historiographic study is the result of doctoral research and uses as methodological procedure the analysis of primary sources and interviews with former students. The results showed that the Teaching License Degree in Psychology was inserted in the course of UFMG since the first class of students entrance in 1963 and offered in the form of compulsory compliance for all the students of that year. From 1965, as the Teaching License Degree became an optional training, fewer and fewer students opted for it. The interviews confirmed the data obtained in the documentary analysis related to the operation of the modality and pointed out the methodological aspects learned during the Teaching License Degree as main contributions to the professional formation of the same. We hope that the research contributes with the reflections on the offer of the Teaching License Degree in the training of Brazilian psychologists and with the historical studies on Psychology in Brazil.

Keywords : teaching license degree; UFMG; history of psychology; decade of 1960.
