Summary View help for Summary
The purpose of this study was to replicate surveys on school psychology conducted by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the International Bureau of Education (IBE) in 1948 and 1954. Knowledgeable professionals in the field of school psychology were chosen in various countries to report on the current state of the field in their respective countries. For questions requiring information that was generally available but not necessarily common knowledge, respondents were asked to locate and supply this information. The survey includes data for 54 developed and developing countries. Major areas of investigation were (1) demographic characteristics of school psychologists, (2) roles and functions of school psychologists, (3) legal, political, and professional regulations governing the field, (4) preparation and credentialing of practitioners, (5) importance of research, (6) future trends in the field.
