Abstract

The aim of this study is to analyze the Pedagogical Projects of the
Psychology Courses (PPC) in cities of a medium, small to medium, and
small size located in the country, considering the context of expansion
and interiorization of formation in the last decade. This was a document
study, based on the analysis of 20 PPC, based on the following axes: profile
and location of courses, general characterization of the PPC, curriculum/
modules emphasis, and practice fields. The courses are distributed in at least
12 Brazilian States, 30% being in medium-size cities, 45% in medium to
small size cities, and 25% in small size cities. The courses are closer to rural
contexts, as a singular space through a multiplicity of forms of diversity
with the urban world, which demands major sensitivity to answer to the
complexity and heterogeneity that is typical of the rural environment and
its population in Brazil.
