Abstract
This study aims to enhance the training of future educational psychologists in designing a safe and comfortable environment in general education settings. The methodology combined literature review, conceptual modeling, surveys, interviews, observations, pedagogical experiments, and statistical analysis. A model was constructed to guide students through a step-by-step process for designing emotionally safe educational spaces, emphasizing values such as empathy, respect, and mutual trust. The study involved 326 participants, including 75 students in formative stages and 84 practicing psychologists from various educational institutions.Results showed a measurable improvement in students’ competence and confidence in applying psychological principles to real-world school environments. The training also strengthened their ability to manage conflict and support student well-being effectively.This research highlights the importance of a structured, principle-driven methodology in preparing psychologists for school settings. It provides practical strategies for fostering a safe educational climate and contributes to the ongoing development of professional standards in psychological education.
