Abstract: The project focuses on the innovation of content, curricula and the creation of textbooks from the subject of educational psychology for the target group of students of psychology and professionals working in the educational environment. The lack of up-to-date textbook literature accessible to students in the field of educational psychology, as well as the efforts of the solvers to innovate the content of undergraduate education in the psychology study program and bring it closer to the needs of practice are the main reasons for project creation. 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. The output will be textbooks and study materials reflecting the degree of knowledge in the relevant field.
