PPR og de normative forudsætninger

Analyses and discusses the current educational climate and its implications for educational psychologists.
Over the past few years, our educational system has witnessed a number of significant changes, which have set new types of requirements for Danish educational psychology service centres (EPS). This article analyses and discusses the current educational climate and its implications for educational psychologists. Throughout the article, I argue how there is a growing need for focusing on what I term the normative conditions of educational psychology practice. Based on an on-going empirical project, I argue that educational psychologists are often faced with normative questions related to 1) an increasingly test-oriented school system, 2) the relation psychiatry, clinical and educational psychology and 3) the move towards a more inclusive
educational system. I conclude the article by discussing some ways to address the normative questions in relation to educational psychology practice.
