Abstract

Abstract Transitioning from a student to a professional position is a complex process that requires the involvement of different learning experiences based on facing authentic problems of professional practice. In this study, we explore the evolution of a group of five students in the context of an context of an innovative psychology degree programme at training future professionals in educational psychology. The students carried out a professional project that involved helping schoolteachers in dealing with some of the difficulties they face in their daily work. For this purpose, they collected in situ information, made joint decisions, discussed those decisions in a digital forum with other students and professionals and prepared a proposal, which they subsequently presented for evaluation. Data obtained from mapping, individual interviews, the Personal Position Repertoire, the community identity plot and the focus group were analyzed. Through content analysis, the participants’ positions as students or professionals and the transitions between them were identified. The results show reciprocal changes in the I-positions and We-positions which influence individual and group construction of professional identity. Furthermore, these changes informed us of the educational potential of some teaching activities.

成才:大学生群体“我”位与“我”位的相互影响分析

从学生到专业岗位的过渡是一个复杂的过程，需要在面对真实的专业实践问题的基础上参与不同的学习经验。在本研究中，我们探讨了一组五名学生在创新心理学学位课程背景下的演变，以培养未来的教育心理学专业人员。学生们开展了一项专业项目，帮助学校教师解决他们在日常工作中遇到的一些困难。为此目的，他们就地收集资料，共同作出决定，在数字论坛上与其他学生和专业人员讨论这些决定，并编写一份提案，随后提交以供评价。通过制图、个人访谈、个人立场表、社区认同图和焦点小组分析数据。通过内容分析，确定了参与者作为学生或专业人员的位置以及两者之间的转换。结果表明，“我”位置和“我”位置相互影响着职业认同的个体和群体建构。此外，这些变化告诉我们一些教学活动的教育潜力。

期刊介绍： Psychology and related disciplines throughout the human sciences and humanities have been revolutionized by a postmodern emphasis on the role of language, human systems, and personal knowledge in the construction of social realities. The Journal of Constructivist Psychology is the first publication to provide a professional forum for this emerging focus, embracing such diverse expressions of constructivism as personal construct theory, constructivist marriage and family therapy, structural-developmental and language-based approaches to psychology, and narrative psychology.
