What Is The JOB of an EDUCATIONAL PSYCHOLOGISTI Career Path I Salary I Sibusisiwe Komane

[@morongwakekana3061]

I am motivated and not looking back ...

[@sthembilethanjekwayo_za]

Now this speaks to my core. Many learners in public schools particularly ema lokshini get left behind ngoba certain aid is only afforded to the "elite". Its pained me for the longest time. I hope to also make an impact in education someday in the near future. Thank you for this conversation, very informative!!

[@lifeinitsfullness1711]

An important topic indeed Sthembile, and I am glad to hear that you plan to make in impact this field. What are you currently doing?

@@lifeinitsfullness1711 I'm actually studying Psych ne Wits Plus. But financial exclusion had us sit this year out. I love seeing such content though. They keep the fire burning in me.

Thank you for this...I am a qualified teacher and i want to convert to psychology and this video has been helpful...

[@keletsochalo1712]

This was very informative. I am currently doing a PGCE course and I can't emphasis the need for educational psychologists learners Needs can't only be met by educators.

[@lifeinitsfullness1711]

Thanks for the engagement Keletso, and you are right about the importance of EP.

[@motlanalorahlagane9332]

Thank you for bringing in different psychologists from different fields, it also helps us to decide which Psychology area fits better with us 🙏 ...the videos are always informative and exciting

[@siyamthandazincume1914]

Very informative and enlightening🙌I’m glad I came across this, really needed to see it! Thank you so much Dr T and Mrs K❤ I’m 23 a psychology graduate from UKZN and this year I’ll be doing my 3rd year in Bachelor of Education (Foundation phase teaching). I’m definitely going for Educational psychology honours in 2026!

Welcome, Siyamthanda. I am glad you found the channel, and congratulations on your academic progress. Please go all the way to get your master's and become an Educational Psychologist; you now have the channel's support. Please share it with your class and class rep to spread the word...

[@amukelanisibuyi7680]

Psychology is a great career path but getting into master’s has become much harder as they only select a maximum of 12 candidates when there’s more than 1000 honours graduates. This can be quite emotionally and psychologically exhausting. An advise would be to have a plan B career path. I have heard stories of people waiting 5-7 years to get accepted. So there are disadvantages. But great informative video🙏🏾

[@lifeinitsfullness1711]

You are right Amukelani, hence I did another video to encourage psych students about psychology career articulation and I speak exactly about what you indicated, alternative career path. However, my take is always that if it is your desire to be a psychologist, nothing should discourage you from become one as you will never regret it.

[@amukelanisibuyi7680]

That’s true. I will be doing my master’s in educational Psychology next year. Hopefully when we apply for jobs, the government can employ us as well to assist with the workload and provide assistance and support to those that need it. Unfortunately there isn’t enough budget for psychological services in our country.

[@laurenparkes5850]

Thank you for this video. I wish there was more information on Educational psychology in SA out there. So much focus on clinical. I am an educator at a public school and will be pursuing my hons in educational psychology this year, aiming for masters and this video has been inspiring! 😁

[@lifeinitsfullness1711]

Thanks Lauren for joining the family and for your engagement. You are welcome to explore various videos we have about EdPsych and pls fee free to share more about what you might be interested to know about regarding the field, we will make time to add contents about it. Compliments of the New Year.

[@tumelondubane1916]

Excellent video Indeed there is a huge demand for Educational Psychologists It made to rethink, my career choice, to choose between, Clinical, Counselling and Educational.

[@lifeinitsfullness1711]

They are indeed in demand Tumelo, hence if you see my other video about “why you must pursue a career in psychology’ I show the number of registration in each category. To be fair though, there is demand in all fields of psychology obvious others have more demand than others.

Hi Dr T. This was a great interview. Could i ask if you could do a video on how to select a great research topic for ed psyc masters or maybe interview people in their research topics

[@lifeinitsfullness1711]

I missed this but I think u got answered from the research video

[@sibongilemokoena9860]

Informative video. This is helpful as I'm also in the process of applying for my educational psychology masters. Dr T in one of your videos you mentioned how one must familiarise themselves with the university's theoretical perspectives. I have been trying to find out about UJ, I believe I have found it however Am not sure. Can you please share some light on which theoretical perspective UJ follows.

[@lifeinitsfullness1711]

Hi Sibongile, I’m not sure what UJ uses, what did you find out? I would go with eclectic approach.

[@sibongilemokoena9860]

Good day Dr Tsebe. Humanistic approach. Thank you so much for these videos. I got accepted 😭🙏

I'm doing my 3rd year in BEd majoring with L.O and life orientation. I have psychology modules, is it possible for more to be an Education Psychologist? If so are there job opportunities for perusing Masters in Educational psychology.

[@lifeinitsfullness1711]

Hi Yolanda, thanks for the, it possible to be an educational psychologist, as long as you have Psychology up to 3rd years, you can then apply for honours. There is definitely work for Educational Psychologist, nothing to worry about. See the video about "Why you should consider a career in psychology"

Very informative video.

[@Thabsile_Thwala]

Quick question Doc, most of us didn't really know what Educational Psychologists do, now that I do understand, I'm interested, however, I've already applied at UP for Clinical, if I apply now for Educational as well, am I ruining my chance? Do you think I should send my application?

[@lifeinitsfullness1711]

You, applications are handled by different faculties

[@yandiimlotshwa4476]

Is there a huge demand for educational psychologists? I'm in final year psychology and considering postgrad

Hi Yandii, definitely, check out the video on “why you should follow a career in psychology”, reveal about the gap that exist in the profession.

[@keletsobaloyi4982]

Please, what is the difference between B.Ed Honours in Educational psychology and B.Ed honours in Psychology of education?

[@lifeinitsfullness1711]

Hi Keletso, nothing from the discipline and NQF perspective as both in the same Education disciplinepsychology

[@austro8086]

Hi is a Postgraduate Diploma in Psychology of Education good enough to get to Masters in Educational Psychology? Or you advise to do Honours then Masters ?

[@lifeinitsfullness1711]

As long as you have 3rd year psych either PGCE or Hons Psych will do, obviously honours in EDPsych will be better than PGCE unless you want to do PGCE as an alternative to working as teacher part time as you can do that while studying masters
