SULLE, Adriana; BUR, Ricardo  and  STASIEJKO, Halina. The epistemic and disciplinary field of psychology: An inquiry about the validity of the vygotskian project from the voices of psychology professors. Anu. investig. [online]. 2011, vol.18, pp.217-224. ISSN 1851-1686.

As part of a project of investigation, this paper presents historical questions related to the complexity of the field of Psychology. We explore whether some of the theoretical and practical problems outlined by Vygotsky about Psychology are part and / or are present in the voices of teachers who set out and convey Psychology today. The research design is qualitative-descriptive. We show the analysis derived from interviews with teachers of psychology in two directions: first, issues regarding the epistemic and disciplinary ield of psychology; second, the relevance of Vygotsky´s ideas of such field. Recurring terms were identified in the arguments, then grouped into categories: psychology; epistemological; disciplinary and others. We also observed a use of a system of academic meanings. The arguments on the relevance of the validity of Vygotsky´s ideas are examined from the historical dimension (past - present - future), for which sub-categories were established: continuity - discontinuity. A largest presence of continuity has been detected between these two subcategories. Several modes of implication were also noticed in the responses, which were analyzed through the notion of subjectification.

Keywords : Vigotsky; Teachers; Contemporaneity; Psychology; Meanings.
