Educational Psychologists engage with and carry out research to ensure that they are up to date with evidence bases and best practice in order to improve outcomes from children and young people. Making use of their skills in both quantitative and qualitative research methods, Educational Psychologists frequently undertake and support research at a school level, service level, local authority level and at a national level, as part of their core practice. Research undertaken by Educational Psychologists is frequently disseminated at national and international levels.
One of our Educational Psychologists is also a co-editor on the Educational Psychology in Scotland journal.
All research work within Aberdeenshire EPS is undertaken in accordance with the British Psychological Society’s Code of Ethics and Conduct which can be found here.
