Job responsibilities of a teacher psychologist in an educational institution. Job description

Job and functional responsibilities of a teacher-psychologist educational institution

Despite the fact that in educational institutions Since the post of psychologist was introduced in 1988, there are still no well-established ideas about the content and forms of his professional activity. As a result, the subjects of the educational process often make demands on it that are not characteristic of its role. So, for example, the administration often offers the psychologist a class guide, and sometimes teaching. academic disciplines(especially when the psychologist also has a pedagogical education), seeks to control his activities in detail, requires a report on the results of diagnostics and counseling. The teacher expects from the psychologist support in the implementation of his usual style of pedagogical communication and help in manipulating students and their parents. In turn, parents hope that the psychologist will protect their child from “school negativity” and at the same time authoritatively confirm the “correctness” of family education. Children, if the psychologist manages to establish a trusting relationship with them, look for an older comrade and protector in him. It is easy to see that in many respects the listed expectations are contradictory.

The teacher-psychologist of an educational institution is an independent specialist and an equal member of the pedagogical team, responsible for that side of the pedagogical process, which, apart from him, no one can professionally provide, namely, for the mental development and psychological health of children and schoolchildren. It should be noted that, being an equal member of the team, the educational psychologist in an educational institution occupies a certain place in the entire educational process.

In various educational institutions, the teacher-psychologist is assigned different tasks, which depend not only on the type and type of this institution, but also on the requests of the administration for the role of a specialist in a particular educational institution.

The most pressing problems faced by a teacher-psychologist are: the difficulty of determining one's role in this institution, the problem of taking a worthy place in the educational process, the difficulty of determining one's duties that do not run counter to the general concept of an educational institution.

The main activities of a practical educational psychologist are: psychological education, psychological prevention, psychological counseling and psychodiagnostics, psychocorrection and development. All these types of work in practice exist only in unity, in interaction. In any particular situation, each of the types of work can come to the fore, depending on the problem that the psychologist is solving, and on the specifics or profile of the institution where he works. In general, specialists carry out professional activities aimed at preserving the mental, somatic and social well-being of children, their optimal personal development and social adaptation, promote the protection of individual rights in accordance with the Convention on the Protection of the Rights of the Child, take measures to provide different kind psychological help.

In the various literature published at the present time, consideration of a number of organizational problems that are crucial for the adaptation of a practical psychologist in conditions of educational institution and thus all his subsequent work. How a psychologist can build relationships with the teaching staff and administration, students and their parents depends on his real status in an educational institution and, accordingly, the conditions future work specialist.

The boundaries of his functional duties in practice turn out to be quite flexible and extend from the roles of "eternal duty officer", "social activist", "messenger on small assignments", etc. to "an expert on the most important issues of education and upbringing". It is also important that a specialist cannot always determine the official and functional responsibilities of his professional activity.

Unfortunately, the existing legal norms do not clearly define the duties of a teacher-psychologist in an educational institution. So, in the requirements for tariff and qualification characteristics for positions (Appendix 2 to the order of the Ministry of Education of Russia and the State Committee for Higher Education of Russia dated August 31, 1995 No. 463/1268), three sections are included: “Job Responsibilities”, “Must Know” and “Requirements for qualifications for pay grades."

The section "Job Responsibilities" contains the main functions that can be entrusted in whole or in part to the employee holding this position, are the basis for the development of job descriptions in the field, fixing the duties, rights and responsibilities of the employee, approved by the heads of the institution in agreement with the relevant trade union committees. Job responsibilities of an educational psychologist include:

  • implementation of professional activities aimed at maintaining the mental, somatic and social well-being of students (pupils) in the process of education and training in institutions;
  • promoting the protection of the rights of the individual in accordance with the Convention on the Protection of the Rights of the Child;
  • promoting harmonization social sphere institutions and implementation of preventive measures to prevent the occurrence of social maladaptation;
  • identification of factors hindering the development of the personality of students (pupils) and taking measures to provide various types of psychological assistance (psycho-correctional, rehabilitation and advisory);
  • assistance to students (pupils), parents (persons replacing them), teaching staff in solving specific problems;
  • conducting psychological diagnostics of various profiles and purposes;
  • drawing up psychological and pedagogical conclusions based on materials research work for the purpose of guiding the teaching staff, as well as parents (persons replacing them) in the problems of personal and social development of students (pupils);

  • participation in the planning and development of developmental and correctional programs of educational activities, taking into account the individual gender and age characteristics of the personality of students (pupils), promoting the development of their readiness for orientation in various situations of life and professional self-determination;
  • providing psychological support to creatively gifted students (pupils), promoting their development and search; determination of the degree of deviations (mental, physiological, emotional) in the development of students (pupils), as well as various types of social development disorders and conducts their psychological and pedagogical correction;
  • the formation of the psychological culture of students (pupils), teaching staff and parents (persons replacing them), including the culture of sexual education;
  • advising employees of an educational institution on the development of this institution, the practical application of psychology focused on improving the socio-psychological competence of students (pupils), teachers, parents (persons replacing them).

The “Must Know” section contains the basic requirements for an employee with regard to special knowledge, as well as knowledge of legislative acts, regulations, instructions, other governing and regulatory documents, methods and means that an employee must be able to apply when performing official duties. So a teacher-psychologist (8-14 categories) should know: the Constitution of the Russian Federation; laws of the Russian Federation, decisions of the Government of the Russian Federation and federal bodies management of education on education; Declaration of human rights and freedoms; the Convention on the Rights of the Child; normative documents regulating issues of labor protection, health care, career guidance, employment of students (pupils) and their social protection; general psychology, educational psychology and general pedagogy, personality psychology and differential psychology, child and developmental psychology, social psychology, medical psychology, child neuropsychology, pathopsychology, psychosomatics; fundamentals of defectology, psychotherapy, sexology, psychohygiene, career guidance, vocational studies and labor psychology, psychodiagnostics, psychological counseling and psychoprophylaxis; methods of active learning, socio-psychological training of communication; modern methods individual and group professional consultation, diagnosis and correction of normal and abnormal development of the child; rules and regulations of labor protection, safety and fire protection.

As we can see, these sections are general, not filled with specific content. The teacher-psychologist needs to rethink and structure the entire array of practical problems, determine the priority areas of his activity, and fill them with specific content.

It should be noted that the double subordination of a teacher-psychologist (the head of the institution for administrative issues and the methodological center for professional issues) introduces some confusion into the organization of the specialist's professional activities. It is well-composed functional duties that will help the teacher-psychologist to coordinate his position with the requests of the administration in resolving professional issues; develop common ideas about the function of a psychologist in an educational institution; predict real performance.

The functional responsibilities of a specialist are drawn up taking into account the general job responsibilities approved in the tariff and qualification characteristics and areas of activity, as part of the work of the psychological service of an educational institution, taking into account the requests of the administration of the educational institution.

So, for example, a teacher-psychologist can indicate in his functional duties such areas of work as:

Job description of a psychologist teacher - sample 2019/2020. The duties of a psychologist teacher, the rights of a psychologist teacher, the responsibility of a psychologist teacher.

Despite the fact that the post of psychologist was introduced in educational institutions in 1988, there are still no well-established ideas about the content and forms of his professional activity. As a result, the subjects of the educational process often make demands on it that are not characteristic of its role. So, for example, the administration often offers the psychologist a class guide, and sometimes the teaching of academic disciplines (especially when the psychologist also has a pedagogical education), seeks to control his activities in detail, and requires a report on the results of diagnostics and counseling. The teacher expects from the psychologist support in the implementation of his usual style of pedagogical communication and help in manipulating students and their parents. In turn, parents hope that the psychologist will protect their child from “school negativity” and at the same time authoritatively confirm the “correctness” of family education. Children, if the psychologist manages to establish a trusting relationship with them, look for an older comrade and protector in him. It is easy to see that in many respects the listed expectations are contradictory.

The teacher-psychologist of an educational institution is an independent specialist and an equal member of the pedagogical team, responsible for that side of the pedagogical process, which, apart from him, no one can professionally provide, namely, for the mental development and psychological health of children and schoolchildren. It should be noted that, being an equal member of the team, the educational psychologist in an educational institution occupies a certain place in the entire educational process.

In various educational institutions, the teacher-psychologist is assigned different tasks, which depend not only on the type and type of this institution, but also on the requests of the administration for the role of a specialist in a particular educational institution.

The most pressing problems faced by a teacher-psychologist are: the difficulty of determining one's role in this institution, the problem of taking a worthy place in the educational process, the difficulty of determining one's duties that do not run counter to the general concept of an educational institution.

The main activities of a practical educational psychologist are: psychological education, psychological prevention, psychological counseling and psychodiagnostics, psychocorrection and development. All these types of work in practice exist only in unity, in interaction. In any particular situation, each of the types of work can come to the fore, depending on the problem that the psychologist is solving, and on the specifics or profile of the institution where he works. In general, specialists carry out professional activities aimed at preserving the mental, somatic and social well-being of children, their optimal personal development and social adaptation, contribute to the protection of individual rights in accordance with the Convention on the Protection of the Rights of the Child, and take measures to provide various types of psychological assistance.

In the various literature published at the present time, consideration of a number of organizational problems is practically omitted, which are of decisive importance for the adaptation of a practical psychologist in the conditions of an educational institution and, thereby, all his subsequent work. How a psychologist can build relationships with the teaching staff and administration, students and their parents depends on his real status in an educational institution and, accordingly, the conditions for the future work of a specialist.

The boundaries of his functional duties in practice turn out to be quite flexible and extend from the roles of "eternal duty officer", "social activist", "messenger on small assignments", etc. to "an expert on the most important issues of education and upbringing". It is also important that a specialist cannot always determine the official and functional responsibilities of his professional activity.

Unfortunately, the existing legal norms do not clearly define the duties of a teacher-psychologist in an educational institution. So, in the requirements for tariff and qualification characteristics for positions (Appendix 2 to the order of the Ministry of Education of Russia and the State Committee for Higher Education of Russia dated August 31, 1995 No. 463/1268), three sections are included: “Job Responsibilities”, “Must Know” and “Requirements for qualifications for pay grades."

The section "Job Responsibilities" contains the main functions that can be entrusted in whole or in part to the employee holding this position, are the basis for the development of job descriptions in the field, fixing the duties, rights and responsibilities of the employee, approved by the heads of the institution in agreement with the relevant trade union committees. Job responsibilities of an educational psychologist include:

  • implementation of professional activities aimed at maintaining the mental, somatic and social well-being of students (pupils) in the process of education and training in institutions;
  • promoting the protection of the rights of the individual in accordance with the Convention on the Protection of the Rights of the Child;
  • promoting the harmonization of the social sphere of the institution and the implementation of preventive measures to prevent the occurrence of social maladaptation;
  • identification of factors hindering the development of the personality of students (pupils) and taking measures to provide various types of psychological assistance (psycho-correctional, rehabilitation and advisory);
  • assistance to students (pupils), parents (persons replacing them), teaching staff in solving specific problems;
  • conducting psychological diagnostics of various profiles and purposes;
  • drawing up psychological and pedagogical conclusions based on research papers in order to guide the teaching staff, as well as parents (persons replacing them) in the problems of personal and social development of students (pupils);
  • maintaining documentation in the prescribed form and using it for its intended purpose;
  • participation in the planning and development of developmental and correctional programs of educational activities, taking into account the individual gender and age characteristics of the personality of students (pupils), promoting the development of their readiness for orientation in various situations of life and professional self-determination;
  • providing psychological support to creatively gifted students (pupils), promoting their development and search; determination of the degree of deviations (mental, physiological, emotional) in the development of students (pupils), as well as various types of social development disorders and conducts their psychological and pedagogical correction;
  • the formation of the psychological culture of students (pupils), teachers and parents (persons replacing them), including the culture of sexual education;
  • advising employees of an educational institution on the development of this institution, the practical application of psychology focused on improving the socio-psychological competence of students (pupils), teachers, parents (persons replacing them).

The “Must Know” section contains the basic requirements for an employee with regard to special knowledge, as well as knowledge of legislative acts, regulations, instructions, other governing and regulatory documents, methods and means that an employee must be able to apply in the performance of job duties. So a teacher-psychologist (8-14 categories) should know: the Constitution of the Russian Federation; laws of the Russian Federation, decisions of the Government of the Russian Federation and federal educational authorities on education issues; Declaration of human rights and freedoms; the Convention on the Rights of the Child; normative documents regulating issues of labor protection, health care, career guidance, employment of students (pupils) and their social protection; general psychology, educational psychology and general pedagogy, personality psychology and differential psychology, child and developmental psychology, social psychology, medical psychology, child neuropsychology, pathopsychology, psychosomatics; fundamentals of defectology, psychotherapy, sexology, psychohygiene, career guidance, vocational studies and labor psychology, psychodiagnostics, psychological counseling and psychoprophylaxis; methods of active learning, socio-psychological training of communication; modern methods of individual and group professional consultation, diagnosis and correction of normal and abnormal development of the child; rules and regulations of labor protection, safety and fire protection.

As we can see, these sections are general, not filled with specific content. The teacher-psychologist needs to rethink and structure the entire array of practical problems, determine the priority areas of his activity, and fill them with specific content.

It should be noted that the double subordination of a teacher-psychologist (the head of the institution for administrative issues and the methodological center for professional issues) introduces some confusion into the organization of the specialist's professional activities. It is well-composed functional duties that will help the teacher-psychologist to coordinate his position with the requests of the administration in resolving professional issues; develop common ideas about the function of a psychologist in an educational institution; predict real performance.

The functional responsibilities of a specialist are drawn up taking into account the general job responsibilities approved in the tariff and qualification characteristics and areas of activity, as part of the work of the psychological service of an educational institution, taking into account the requests of the administration of the educational institution.

So, for example, a teacher-psychologist can indicate in his functional duties such areas of work as:

  • Conducts psychological diagnostics of various profiles and purposes (in order to determine the structure of the personality, the level of development of the child's intellect, the characteristics of his neuropsychic sphere, professional abilities, emotional relationships in the family). Determines the degree of deviations (mental, physical, emotional) in the development of students. Identifies factors hindering the development of personality.
  • Offers a program of psychological and pedagogical assistance, taking into account the data of a diagnostic examination. Draws up a psychological report and conducts consultations on the materials of a diagnostic examination in order to guide the student, parents (or persons replacing them), the school (teacher, school psychologist) and specialists in psychological and pedagogical correction.
  • Carries out corrective work on an individual and group basis on the basis of a psychological conclusion and in accordance with the possibilities of the age and intellectual development of a particular child.
