School Psychology in digital Transformation

School Psychology is since many years in a transformation process.

The Corona pandemic has
  • Led to a considerable psychosocial burden on children and adolescents and thus highlights the need of schoolpsychological support
  • Accelerated the process of digital transformation of the school psychological practice mainly due to school lockdowns

Given this precarious situation, the question arises
  • What digital skills school psychologists need to have in their professional practice
  • whether they are equipped for it and
    what about the necessary training and continued professional development offers in the field of digital competence.

The research project DICOSP = Digital Competence Framework in the School Psychological Practice of Austria, Belgium, Germany and Swiss is investigating these questions.

Project DICOSP – Competence Profile

gepedu_logo

Within the framework of the DICOSP project, school psychologists have the opportunity to have their own free digital competence of citizens profile created on the basis of the European DigComp.

The incoming data are anonymized by GEPEDU GmbH, also a project partner, and not individually documented, but rather aggregated to an average profile ‘digital skills of school psychologists’ in order to be able to estimate the training needs of the professional group.

As a school psychologist, you can benefit from this offer and at the same time support the future digital transformation of school psychology!

Depending on the country, school psychologists can have their own free digital competence profile created under the following link:
