Updating of the Professional Standard “Teacher-Psychologist (Psychologist in the Field of Education)”: Meaningful Analysis

Modern challenges and threats, the demands of society necessitate the expansion of the range of professional competencies of a teacher-psychologist. In this regard, a discussion of the professional standard “Teacher-psychologist (psychologist in the field of education)” was organized in the expert community and a survey was conducted in which 1,616 specialists from 8 Federal Districts of the Russian Federation, as well as the Luhansk People’s Republic, Donetsk People’s Republic and Kherson Region took part. A specially developed questionnaire was used as a tool to obtain information about the need to update the standard in key areas of the psychologist’s activity in the education system. As a part of the analysis of the survey results, the level of the professional education of a teacher-psychologist is discussed; the relevance of supporting participants in educational relations in educational institutions of higher professional education is indicated; the importance of supplementing the main type of professional activity of a teacher-psychologist is considered; the importance of interdepartmental interaction in the implementation of professional activities by a teacher-psychologist is noted.
