- Abstract
The article presents the problem of professional education of psychologists at the Autonomous University of Baja California (UABC) and its evaluation at the end of their studies. Based on the institutional policies that guide the importance of assess the performance of graduates through the General Test for Bachelor Graduation (EGEL) -test of national scope that serves as a benchmark for competitiveness-, this investigation focused on the identification of related factors with the results of psychology graduates, as well, to investigate the conditions of their professional education. With the use of the grounded theory as a methodological approach, and the use of focus groups, the inductive analysis carried out allowed the identification of four categories that served as support for the presentation of results: reasons for presenting the EGEL; supports and preparation for the exam; opinion about the test; and, opinion on their own education. The conclusion presents the need to analyze if the psychologist education should orient to a national standard, analyze the didactics used in teaching processes and the apparent lack of exigency on professional education.
