What is the Role of

the Educational

Psychologist? The role of the educational psychologist has been subject to much

internal professional debate over the last 100 years. We asked current

trainee educational psychologists, practicing educational psychologists,

educational psychology doctorate course tutors, and teachers what

they thought constituted the role of the educational psychologist in

three key words. These info-graphs depict the responses on the basis of

their frequency, highlighting the similarities and differences in opinion

between and within these four groups.
