- Abstract
This study delves into the role of educational psychologists in Mongolia, with a specific focus on their experiences in schools during the academic year 2022-2023. UNESCO’s definition of quality education underscores the importance of holistic student development, including their emotional and psychological well-being. However, Mongolia’s current educational evaluation system predominantly centers on knowledge acquisition, prompting a growing demand for increased psychological support in schools. In response to this need, 203 educational psychologists were deployed in schools, and their impact was thoroughly assessed through surveys and interviews. The primary goal was to establish a stable employment system for educational psychologists in schools across Mongolia. Results indicate positive developments, including heightened collaboration between teachers and psychologists. Nevertheless, challenges persist, notably limited cooperation with parents. This research underscores the pivotal roles of educational psychologists in fostering comprehensive student development. It advocates for specialized training, improved working conditions, and enhanced collaboration among teachers, parents, school administrators, psychologists, and social workers within the school environment. Such collaboration facilitates a deeper understanding and effective utilization of the unique expertise provided by educational psychologists in school settings.
