However, this book provides invaluable assistance by offering practical, clear, and comprehensive guidance for implementation. The authors, a US university professor and associate professor respectively, are highly esteemed authorities in the field of play therapy, both serving as professional counsellor supervisors and registered play therapists, with combined extensive experience in scholarly writing, clinical supervision and contributing to the global discourse on both play and sand tray therapy. The book, designed to support practitioners and play therapists enhance their effectiveness and efficiency during play therapy sessions, particularly in documenting notes and engaging in parental consultations, is not only practical but also theoretical. It encompasses easy-to-use practices rooted in comprehensive play therapy theories, such as psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioural therapy, humanistic, postmodern, and systemic approaches (p.5). This book therefore benefits from the authors’ extensive expertise, offering a blend of practicality and theoretical foundation, presenting user-friendly techniques grounded in a comprehensive theory. Divided into two parts, comprising a total of twelve chapters, the first part is dedicated to the essential topics of documentation and parental consultation. The authors effectively present well-defined intervention/treatment plans, useful templates, and detailed step-by-step guidance for documenting notes and conducting consultations with parents, culminating in the termination phase. In the second part, the authors offer insightful perspectives and real-life case examples that assist readers in anticipating potential challenges and addressing issues relevant to parental involvement. Each chapter is meticulously organised; logically, systematically, and comprehensively, ensuring a coherent flow of information. Thought-provoking conclusions are provided at the end of each chapter, while the inclusion of visual aids, such as graphs and images, serves to enhance the reader’s grasp of the book’s","PeriodicalId":45942,"journal":{"name":"Educational Psychology in Practice","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44368559","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This exploratory participatory action research (PAR) project aimed to facilitate teacher-student collaboration in one high school to develop whole-school practice with a focus on assessment. Training videos were co-created focusing on students’ assessment experiences and ways to improve wellbeing and performance. Reflexive thematic analysis of the data identified key facilitators and challenges to the PAR process, alongside insights into students’ assessment experiences. The paper concludes that PAR has the potential to empower young people and open channels of communication between students and teachers.

This qualitative, exploratory study was conducted with 14 students, using semi-structured interviews. Data were processed using the “Big Q approach” to thematic analysis. The findings indicate that the construct of transition to higher education differs between students who study away from home and those who are local. In the case of studying away from home, in contrast to students with no such experience, the construct of the transition includes a psychosocial component. The current model of transition to HE comprises cognitive, communicative, self-regulation, and psychosocial components. The current conceptual framework aligns with a theoretical perspective which emphasises a nonlinear, iterative, and recursive conceptualisation of the transition process. Implications for practice are discussed.","PeriodicalId":45942,"journal":{"name":"Educational Psychology in Practice","volume":"39 1","pages":"309 - 330"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47451381","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two focus groups were held with EPs working in local authorities in the UK. Discussions focused on participants’ experiences of using the PSP with young people (YP), its value, and how it could be developed further. Audio recordings were transcribed, anonymised and thematically analysed. Findings indicated that EPs found that the PSP elicited useful information to support discussions around preparation for adulthood. Key themes relate to the ease of use by EPs and effectiveness and efficiency in regard to information gathering. The tool was deemed to be accessible to YP. Findings are discussed with specific focus on the EP role in relation to supporting preparation for adulthood as outlined in the Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Code of Practice (SEND CoP).

Teachers’ efficacy beliefs can serve as a protective factor against stress and burnout. This study examined a possible association between teachers’ collective efficacy (CE) beliefs and exclusion rates, and whether student-teacher relationships (STRs) affected CE beliefs and teachers’ views about how they responded to difficult behaviour. A mixed methods design was utilised with four secondary schools in one UK local authority. A questionnaire ascertained CE beliefs. Subsequently, semi-structured interviews with ten teachers, with high and low CE, were conducted. A significant association was found between CE and the rate of fixed term exclusions. Interview data revealed four broad themes: The “Quality of Relationships”; the effects on “Efficacy Beliefs”; less “Reliance on Disciplinary Approaches” and having “Greater Tolerance”. Positive STRs enable teachers to provide an environment in which behaviours are more respectful, reducing the need for disciplinary approaches, such as exclusion.","PeriodicalId":45942,"journal":{"name":"Educational Psychology in Practice","volume":"39 1","pages":"273 - 293"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45099463","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
