Introduction
In order to fully understand student development, one must first understand a
child’s cognitive development. Cognitive theorist, Jean Piaget, is perhaps the most
influential researcher on child development. Piaget’s cognitive developmental theory
states that, “children actively construct knowledge as they manipulate and explore their
world” (Berk, 2013, p. 18). In his cognitive development theory, Piaget breaks down the
development into four stages: sensorimotor (birth-2 years), preoperational (2-7 years),
concrete operational (7-11 years), and formal operational (11 + years). It is important to
note that while Piaget heavily influenced research on child development, his theory has
the field divided (Berk, 2013). Another researcher of human development, Lev
2
Vygotsky, focused on sociocultural theory and how culture; the values, beliefs, customs,
and skills of a social group, is transmitted to the next generation and how these factors
also affect a child’s development (Berk, 2013). While Vygotsky agreed with Piaget that
children are active, constructive beings, Vygotsky viewed “cognitive development as a
socially mediated process, in which children depend on assistance from adults and more-
expert peers as they tackle new challenges” (Berk, 2013, p. 23). A third researcher in the
field, Urie Bronfenbrenner, developed the ecological systems theory, which views the
person “as developing within a complex system of relationships affected by multiple
levels of the surrounding environment” (Berk, 2013, p. 24). His theory is broken into
four systems: the microsystem, the mesosystem, the exosystem, and the marcosystem.
All of this is to say, it is not simply enough to know one theory and believe we
have sufficient information to be successful educators in student’s lives. Therefore, as
practicing educators and counselors, we must stay abreast of all child development
theories so we may better serve our students’ needs.

2. What is an Educational Psychologist?
Our main role is to remove the barriers to learning.
To do this we apply psychology to help the emotional
development and educational progress of children
and young people between the ages of 0-19.
3. Barriers to learning
Academic barriers – specific learning difficulties, learning
difficulties/disabilities, access to appropriate educational provision.
Emotional barriers – attachment, anxiety, motivation.
Physical/Medical barriers – physical disability, epilepsy, autism.
Social barriers – aspirations, culture.
These are not mutually exclusive.
4. Applying psychology
There are varying psychological frameworks that we work to:-
Psychodynamic – Bion, Freud – looking at relationships and a persons’ sense of
self – projection and transference.
Systemic – exploring a person’s concern in the context of their ‘system’- family,
school etc..
Solution focused – supporting a person view their concern in terms of ways
forward.
CBT – looking at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviour.
Most EPs work using most of these frameworks interchangeably to form an holistic
and responsive approach.
5. We work at three levels:-
Organisational level
Supporting the strategic development of school education policies to support
inclusion
Championing the voice of the child in the wider organisation
Group level
Running groups for children
Training for parents/teaching staff
Individual level
Children, parents, teachers
6. How we work:-
We each are allocated a ‘patch’ of schools (based on area and including early
years, primary, secondary and special).
We also make links with local community groups and children’s centres.
We work closely with other professionals, including – education, health, and
social care.
We work in an integrated manner meaning that we apply psychology in every
encounter to ensure the adults around the child work as effectively as possible.
Some local authorities have now adopted a traded services model.
7. What do Educational Psychologists do?
Tackle the problems encountered by young people in education, (learning
difficulties and social or emotional problems).
Enable teachers to become more aware of the factors affecting teaching and
learning.
Support parents/carers understand child development to enable them to
support their child.
Write reports about children for allocation of special educational places, or
as part of court proceedings or children's panels.
Some Educational Psychologists have areas of special interest (Children in
Care, ASC etc..)
8. We do this using:-
Research
Consultation
Training
Observations
Individual assessment
Supervision
Our main role is to develop and test hypothesis about the concern using our
psychological knowledge.
We don’t always need to see the child, it is most helpful to help those working with
the child to solve their own problems as they have the lasting relationship with the
child.
