In this work we discuss the binary training/professional performance of educational psychologist. The debate is based on a research on the process developed in the undergratuate Psychology programs of Belo Horizonte/MG. The method used was a series of procedures: interviews with course coordinators and teachers of the area, analysis of curricular matrices, lesson plans and summaries, search the websites of the institutions studied and literature. We analyzed data based on content analysis. The results, although revealing a formation process of change, also pointed out the continuities and challenges which have been targets of intense debate in the field of educational psychology.
