The Educational Psychologist in the Early Years: Current Practice and Future Directions
Shannon, Deborah; Posada, Susan
Educational Psychology in Practice, v23 n3 p257-272 Sep 2007
Following suggestions for updated models of service within the early years educational psychologist (EP) role, the study aimed to provide exploratory research evidence of current models of service delivery and EP attitudes. Questionnaires were completed by 32 EPs. Interviews were conducted with three EPs. Quantitative data obtained were analysed using descriptive statistical analysis. Qualitative data were analysed using a constant comparative method. Whilst results suggest an increasing emphasis on early years work within EP services, results suggest dissatisfaction with current working models associated with high levels of individual casework. Implications for early years EP service delivery are discussed. (Contains 2 tables and 1 figure.)
