A Self-Reflective Framework for Culturally Responsive Educational Psychology Practice
Ellie Sakata
Educational Psychology in Practice, v40 n3 p241-278 2024
The United Kingdom's response to growing multiculturalism is subject to debate over how to respond, accommodate, and promote cultural diversity. This impacts on the role of educational psychologists (EPs) who work with children and young people (CYP), their families, and professionals from a variety of cultural backgrounds. EPs are responsible for engaging in, and developing, culturally responsive practice (CRP), an ongoing process which is both intrapersonal and interpersonal. Despite the pertinent influence of culture on educational psychology practice, there is a paucity of research exploring how EPs take culture into account in their work. A two-round Delphi method was used to explore how EPs can develop CRP, by reviewing literature pertaining to culture within school psychology practice, and more broadly within the psychological professions. A deductive thematic analysis was used to identify statements associated with CRP which were presented to EPs (n = 23) in round one, asking them to rate their perceived importance for their practice. In round two, EPs were invited to evaluate their response to statements which had not met consensus in round one (n = 18). 82 statements met consensus as key features of CRP for EPs, which are presented within a guiding self-reflective framework for practice.
