Abstract

This study is linked to the Professional Master's Degree in Public Policies and Educational Management, in the line of research relating to Pedagogical Management and Educational Contexts. Its general theme is the study of Higher Education and Psychopedagogy. There was a research problem: are the assessment instruments for assessing learning difficulties in Higher Education sufficient and effective? In this sense, the general objective is to investigate studies in the psychopedagogical area focused on Higher Education, focusing on learning processes, evaluation and resources. Specific objectives: describe the most common learning difficulties in Higher Education; reflect on the assessment instruments used in psychopedagogical assessment in Higher Education; investigate the main needs in the search for psychopedagogical support in Higher Education. The university context, for many academics, can be challenging in terms of learning, given that the contents can be considered more complex, and as a result, difficulties arise, however, to carry out assessments and monitor these students, instruments are needed and resources that suit the teaching level. Thus, this study carried out a survey about the search for psychopedagogical support at CAED – Coordination of Educational Actions, at the Federal University of Santa Maria. Through a literature review study, in a preliminary analysis, as well as questionnaires sent to participants (students who sought psychopedagogical support and psychopedagogical experts in the sector) it was found that there is a lack of psychopedagogical evaluative and interventional instruments for adults and, what is done It is important to create a learning self-management instrument, which aims to identify and direct the demand presented by the student for some specific direction or, adaptations and adjustments in their routine, and/or study habit, a self-management orientation in what concerns the difficulties encountered in Higher Education, with a theoretical and practical focus subsidized by knowledge of pedagogy and psychopedagogy, with authors Jussara Hoffmann and Nádia Bossa, and human development theory Urie Bronfenbrenner. It is concluded that the IRDES instrument – Inventory for Screening Difficulties in Higher Education, created as a research product, could be useful both for students as a self-application and as an application assisted by professionals, fulfilling the research objective.
