NUNES, André P.  and  MORATO, Henriette T. P.. Psychological practicum by early years students: experience through psychological attendance. Rev. abordagem gestalt. [online]. 2020, vol.26, n.1, pp. 2-12. ISSN 1809-6867.  http://dx.doi.org/10.18065/RAG.2020v26n1.1.

The present investigation intended to explore how four students experienced their first practicum in the university project of Psychological Attendance, from the second year of the Psychology Course. It revealed how that practicum is organized to take care of the student, as well as how the project showed itself as singular, allowing the students' narrative for this investigation. It was possible to comprehend how the psychological attendance opened to the participants many possibilities to learn through experience, by learning in action. At the same time, by the supervisors' careful psychological attention, the students referred how they incorporated such knowledge in their acting by their reflexions about the experiences at the supervisions as well as with clients. It revealed the possibility of significative learning in action as pertinent to comprehend the meaning of psychologist's attention, even when the practicum occurs for Psychology freshmen students. This investigation points to the urgency to changes in the curriculum of Psychology courses in order to contemplate projects that open new possibilities, directing them to the clients' actual needs.
