- Abstract:
- School psychologists working in South Florida (SF) and psychologists working in the schools in the Dominican Republic (DR), were surveyed to determine the similarities and differences among their current practices. An electronic survey through Survey Monkey was emailed to participants who were full-time employees in the schools. A sample of 58 practicing school psychologists/psychologists was obtained. Overall, 72% (n = 42) of respondents were SF school psychologists and 28% (n = 16) of respondents were psychologists in DR. An independent t-Test was used to compare demographic and practices between the groups. Results of the surveys indicated similarities in the practices of SF school psychologists and in Dominican psychologists working in schools, such as the number of psycho-educational assessments conducted per month, and the time devoted implementing and evaluating interventions. Significant differences between SF school psychologists and Dominican psychologists were found in the time devoted in activities related to special education and the number of students counseled per month. Implications of these results are discussed and recommendations for future research are offered.
