ABSTRACT
Psychological assessment faces difficulties due to the lack of systematization in its teaching. There are possible ways to overcome such difficulties, one of which is academic monitoring. The academic monitoring allows the monitor a more dynamic teaching-learning process to happen, not only for himself but also to the students of the discipline. The objective of this study is to describe how academic monitoring can contribute to the development and critical posture of students. The institution studied provided the academic monitoring in the discipline of psychological assessment, being carried out ten hours a week. The monitoring space provided students with training situations, clarification of doubts, and roleplaying activities. Monitoring provided strategies for the student-monitor to address academic situations from both the student and teacher’s perspective, and therefore provided a new learning modality for the monitor.
