Summary/Abstract: From the mid-1950s, there was an opportunity to cultivate psychology legitimately in the Soviet Union and in the countries belonging to its sphere of interest, including Hungary. The termination of the discredition was valid for all the psychological fields as well as for educational psychology. As one of the results of this change, after 1956, academic-university level Candidate dissertations were published, one after the other in educational psychology, first in the field of educational science and then in psychology, in the 1960s. At the same time, another direction of educational psychology emerged which belonged not to the academic-university level but to the college sphere. In our research, we will reveal the main features and the history of the development of these two educational psychological directions.
