MATOS, Marilia Neri  e  LIMA, Mônica. Contributions of Education in the Interdisciplinary Bachelor Course to the Process of Professional Choice for Psychology. Psicol. Ensino & Form. [online]. 2016, vol.7, n.2, pp.5-17. ISSN 2177-2061.  https://doi.org/10.21826/2179-5800201672517.

This work reflects on the influences of education in the Interdisciplinary Bachelor course (IB) and the contact with the psychological knowledge, in this first moment, for the process of professional choice. The theoretical-methodological approach of discursive practices and production of meaning was applied. Ten graduates of IB were interviewed at their transition to Psychology undergraduate course. An analysis by thematic category was carried out: IB contributions; previous contact with psychological knowledge. It was concluded that IB provided autonomy to the students so they could transit through different areas of knowledge. The possibility to access the study programme of the Psychology course contributed to a more consistent and mature professional decision. This approach influenced the career decision, which is characterized by uncertainties that affect not only young people, but also those who are later in life cycle. This study enables the inclusion of these aspects for the field of professional choice, based on the analysis of de-familiarization of consolidated knowledge.
