Riassunto:Andalusia must face up to the challenge posed by curricula if it is to improve results in schools. Educational psychologists offering support services hold a strategical position and systemic vision that allow them to act as consultants in curriculum development. This paper analyzes the circumstances under which they may perform this role, and the methodology used. It taps into the grounded theory of these professionals with a case study from a biographical-narrative and dialog-based approach. The informant, who has a long career and professional recognition, supplies 35 in-depth interviews about his professional experience and the principles that underpin it. The study uses discourse analysis with emerging categories from his account, and concludes that it is necessary to make changes in the mindset of counselors in order to improve teaching at its core.
