ResumoAs políticas públicas constituem o foco deste estudo, objetivando identificar, sistematizar e analisar a legislação brasileira acerca da inserção da prática da Orientação Profissional no sistema educacional brasileiro. Constituíram fonte de dados os sites oficiais do Governo brasileiro e do Congresso Nacional. A sistematização dos dados foi organizada em dois eixos: as políticas públicas e as ações em Orientação Profissional em seus marcos históricos e legais; e as proposições legislativas no período de 2016 a 2018. Os resultados mostram que a legislação, historicamente, registra o interesse pela Orientação Profissional, ainda que não tenha sido universal e sequencial. Proposições foram feitas desconectadas dos avanços científicos. Na última proposição analisada, porém, já se observa alguma sintonia com a produção de conhecimento. Abstract: Professional guidance in elementary school as public policy in BrazilPublic policies are the focus of this study, aiming to identify, systematize and analyze Brazilian legislation on the insertion of the professional guidance practice in the Brazilian educational system. The official websites of the Brazilian Government and the National Congress were taken as data source. The systematization of the data was organized in two axes: public policies and actions in Professional Guidance in its historical and legal frameworks; and legislative proposals in the period from 2016 to 2018. The results show that legislation historically registers interest in Professional Guidance, although it has not been universal and sequential. Propositions were made disconnected from scientific advances. In the last proposition analyzed, however, some harmony with the production of knowledge is already observed.
