| Abstract: | School psychology is not a recognized field in the People's Republic of China, therefore, most of the appropriate research has been conducted by educational or developmental psychologists. These researchers, like those in the US, are not practitioners in the field, and are located at universities. The focus of many research articles is on assessment or consultation-related areas. Research related to intervention is an infrequent topic. Both insufficient resources and trained professionals are 2 of the major problems facing applied research in China. Presently, the research direction seems to be moving toward special education. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) |
