Course Description

AIMS Educational psychology is about the study and understanding of people?s behaviour and the inter-relationship this has with organisational structures within educational and community settings. This initial training programme is designed to enable recent and mature graduates who have experience of working with children and young people to become fully qualified educational psychologists. PROGRAMME DESCRIPTION During the first year there is an emphasis on the acquisition of highly developed process skills including the use of consultation, solution-focused practices, narrative practices, and dynamic assessment. You undertake placements in educational and community settings and study four taught modules which cover: key issues of inclusion and diversity working in partnership learning and social environments and frameworks for practice. During the second and third years, you are required to obtain employment (or a bursary) as a trainee educational psychologist whilst continuing your studies and undertaking research. Your research projects include a systematic review of published research in a relevant field and an empirical study presented as a paper to an appropriate peer reviewed journal. Throughout each of the three years you undertake supervised and assessed placements in schools, educational psychology services and the settings of other agencies and professionals who work with children. You maintain a practice portfolio that chronicles and evidences your professional development during each year of the programme. A model of enquiry-based learning is used throughout the programme and you are encouraged to work collaboratively within the group and to take responsibility for individual and group learning.
