The study is intended to expand and complement existing descriptions of the profession, which tend to be predominantly objective in nature and based on third-person definitions. The first part of this study presents the stories of six school psychologists. The stories of the six school psychologists, four women and two men, were collected using in-depth, interactive interviews. The second part of the study describes some of the tools and materials used by the school psychologists to construct their professional roles and identities. These tools were grouped into three descriptive categories: personal-biographical, organizational and social-historical dimensions. This investigation showed that school psychologists played an active part in constructing their professional roles and identities. While each of the six psychologists recognized that the roles prescribed by their respective institutions were narrow and limiting, their own constructions of professional roles were varied and complex. In the process of constructing their professional roles and identities, these psychologists took into consideration their unique individual backgrounds, conditions within their respective institutions as well as social and historical changes that have influenced the practice of school psychology in general. These tools and materials represented both the boundaries and possibilities within which the school psychologists' roles were defined. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini!
