Almost every psychologist working in the schoolor other educational institution, was faced with the problem of documentation. No matter how short a time, and no matter how much it would be desirable to spend it on practical activities, it is worth remembering that documentation is very important, since it is the main working base of a psychologist. Among other documents, I want to talk separately about how the psychological and pedagogical characteristics of the pupil are drawn up, a sample of which is rather difficult to find.
First of all, it should be noted in whichcases it is needed. Of course, for each student to make such a paper would be an unrealistic task for the psychologist. If there is a need for this, then you can involve a class teacher in this activity. However, more often than not, it will be superfluous. Psychological and pedagogical characteristics of the pupil are required in case he has any problems in his studies, behavior, etc., and he and his parents are invited to the medical-psychological-pedagogical commission to decide how these problems should be eliminated. It is also necessary to have psychological and pedagogical characteristics on all "difficult" adolescents who are on school records or marked in the PDN department. In addition, children with whom the school psychologist is involved in an individual program should also be characterized (mainly in order to understand why they need corrective work).
It should be remembered that close work with classroomsmanagers can facilitate the task of a psychologist in writing this document, as they are well acquainted with their students and often know the information that may later be useful for describing the child's personality.
It should be noted that a single sample, according to whichwritten characteristics of the student, no. Therefore, the form of writing can be developed independently or use existing models of other psychologists. However, in any case, there are several recommendations that must be followed when drafting it.
First, the characterization of the student shouldcontain the individual characteristics of the student, his character, position in society, the development of cognitive processes, etc. To do this, a complete study of the child is carried out, using various techniques that the psychologist owns. The personality of the student should be covered in detail from all sides, with both positive and negative qualities, as well as features of his behavior.
Secondly, it must be remembered that when thecharacteristics of the student, the psychologist should be guided by the basic rule of professional ethics "do no harm". Accordingly, each word and phrase should be carefully thought out and correctly formulated. Especially it concerns those cases when the characteristic on the pupil of a correctional school is written. Usually diagnoses in such cases are encrypted with the help of designations, understandable to those skilled in the art.
At the end of the document,which the psychologist makes individually to everyone, taking into account the facts listed before. This item should be mandatory, since the task of the school psychologist is not so much to diagnose personal or other violations in the child, how much to make efforts to correct them.
Also it is worth considering that the documentation, whichthe school psychologist conducts, should be among themselves identical sample that will be convenient not only to the worker, but also checking its work of administration. This applies to the characteristics that are being developed, and are further developed according to one standard. In the future, only the psychologist will have open access to these references, and other people only with his permission and the consent of the student's parents.
