Based on research data on the key thematic areas represented in research studies in the field of educational psychology, as well as on the analysis of relevant textbooks and the specification of the needs of psychological knowledge by management and counselling staff working in institutions in the educational environment and experimental verification, the syllabus of educational psychology, teaching methods and teaching materials for the subject of educational psychology study will be updated.
