Parents' Evaluation of an Educational Psychology Service

An evaluation of parents' views of an Educational Psychology Service was carried out using a questionnaire survey and follow-up telephone interviews. The most satisfaction was expressed for the pre-school, early years services and child guidance support where a statement was not involved. Parents found it helpful to learn alternative ways to interpret behaviour from understanding professionals. They were less satisfied with statutory assessments of their older children already attending school. The main sources of dissatisfaction were the lack of communication with and involvement of parents in the course of the assessments, the length of time it took to decide on an assessment and the time taken to collect the relevant reports to draw up a statement. Implications for practice are discussed.     

A Survey of Parents' Views

This survey of parental perceptions of special schooling for pupils with moderate learning difficulties is, as the authors recognise, a modest one which includes methodological flaws and question bias. Nevertheless, given the relative lack of data in this area, the findings deserve to be more widely known. In addition to suggesting a strong consensus of parental support for some special schools the article indicates the need for LEAs to involve and consult both parents and teachers in any proposed programme of special school closures. Ron Dawson is a principal lecturer in special educational needs at King Alfred's College, Winchester, and Joyce Kierney is deputy head of a school for children with moderate learning difficulties in Staffordshire.

Patterns of Service Delivery in Educational Psychology Services: Some implications for practice

This article describes research into models of service delivery for Educational Psychology Services in England and Wales. Questionnaires completed by Principal Educational Psychologists (PEPs) during 1998 reveal trends in the way we commonly engage with schools. In particular, aspects of practice associated with consultancy models of service delivery are explored and the extent to which they are employed is examined. Some links with other organisational artefacts, such as supervision and appraisal, are also discussed. The research provides an illuminative study of current service delivery practice and suggests some conclusions about the way we deliver services to schools, the cultures within EP Services and the frameworks we draw upon to inform our practice.

教育心理学:后现代主义的挑战

进入20世纪90年代以后,教育心理学面临来自后现代主义思潮的挑战。在本体论方面,后现代思潮挑战传统教育心理学的实在论倾向,主张心理是一种社会建构;在认识论方面,后现代思潮挑战传统的知识外源论和内源论观点,主张知识是社会互动和协商的结果,教育教学同样是知识建构的过程;在方法论方面,后现代思潮挑战传统的实证和量化方法,主张质化研究和量化研究的结合,力促教育心理学实现方法多元化。后现代主义的挑战有助于克服传统教育心理学的机械反映论、个体主义和方法中心等错误倾向。
