INTERPROFESSIONAL COLLABORATION BETWEEN AN EDUCATIONAL PSYCHOLOGIST AND A SOCIAL EDUCATION TEACHER

Abstract

The article explores interprofessional collaboration between an educational psychologist and a social education teacher as a prerequisite for comprehensive psychological and pedagogical support for students. Based on a theoretical, methodological, and normative analysis, the article describes the functional characteristics of these specialists, coordination mechanisms (psychological and pedagogical consultation, routing to the PMPK), distribution of responsibilities, and methods of information exchange. The article substantiates the organizational and pedagogical conditions for achieving results: local regulations, the “identification – decision – implementation – monitoring – adjustment” cycle, personal data protection, family participation, and interdepartmental coordination. Functional complementarity is demonstrated: diagnosis, correction, counseling, and education with an educational psychologist; Social and pedagogical diagnostics, advocacy support, and the organization of assistance measures by a social educator. The practical significance lies in the design of an individual educational pathway and the prevention of school maladjustment.
