Title: AVRUPA BİRLİĞİ ÜLKELERİNDE, AMERİKA’DA VE TÜRKİYE’DE PSİKOLOJİ EĞİTİMİ VE UYGULAMALARI
Abstract: Although psychology education, as a discipline, in undergraduate and graduate levels is mostly similar across universities in Europe and America, practical and theoretical education in its sub-domains (clinical, social, developmental, etc.) may differ.While the relationship of Psychology with other disciplines is relatively more rigid in Turkiye, in the America and European context it has a more multidisciplinary structure and course contents are more flexible.This article, following a review of the relevant literature and a textual analysis in a theoretical framework, aims to give a comparative view of Psychology education in Turkiye, America and Europe.The European side of psychology education is mostly analysed through practices and theories in Austria.However, because not all European countries were included in this study, it can be assumed that the educational forms and practices in other European countries may be different from the Austrian ones.In this regard, the study concludes that there are fewer active or interactive psychology laboratories used in psychology education in Turkiye compared to America and Europe.The results also suggest that the basic debates (legal, curricular) on the functioning and development of psychology as a science are still heated.We believe that the article will contribute to the discussions and practices regarding psychology education in Turkiye and the multidisciplinary nature of psychology around the world.
