RIBEIRO, Flávia de Mendonça  and  GUZZO, Raquel Souza Lobo. Psychology and higher education: petty-bourgeois aspirations and daily contradictions in scholarship students. Rev. Psicol. IMED [online]. 2019, vol.11, n.1, pp.27-45. ISSN 2175-5027.  https://doi.org/10.18256/2175-5027.2019.v11i1.3004.

This article aims to present the importance of the work of Psychology by accompanying students in the face of their daily aspirations and contradictions in Higher Education. From a critical understanding of the Brazilian conjuncture and the educational system, we will present how the creation of affirmative actions for the insertion of blacks and the working class in Higher Education was of paramount importance for the democratization of access to education, besides indicating the existence of an important field for the action of Psychology in university spaces. The study consisted in identifying quota students by means of an online questionnaire and for this article, answers were chosen from a student who presented questions related to their aspirations and their life experience, thus constructing a case study. Participant responses were categorized into daily contradictions and petty-bourgeois aspirations, and allowed us to conclude on the importance of Psychology to support the students and the policies of affirmative action's existing integrating these students in the university community, besides helping them to face the psychic suffering in everyday university experiences and the process of consciousness.
