Educational Psychology, as an area of Psychology that specializes in formative processes, faces several important challenges in the information and knowledge society of this twenty first century. One of these challenges is to facilitate a paradigm shift from a nearly exclusive focus on social science to the scientific-technological approach of a discipline that produces innovation and meaningful transfer of science and technology. The Research, Development, and Innovation (RD & I) value chain means pursuing these three endeavors in both the academic and professional lines of Educational Psychology. It is a strategy of innovation that leads us to integrate activity (R), research-related or professional (D) and activity (I). Generating innovation and transfer, applicable to educational contexts, can be an important stimulus of activity for new practicing psychologists in Educational Psychology. The RD & I value chain can become an academic, research-related or professional advantage in different activities, since it pertains to the processes, products and services found in the sphere of Educational Psychology. Several examples of how the RD & I chain can help improve psychoeducational activities are presented. First, we analyze competitive improvements that the RD & I chain can offer in competitive bids. Second, we give examples of the RD & I chain in the development of new processes, products and services in , specifically illustrating the chain in each case. In order for this conception to take shape, a new cross-functional area must be created in professional and educational organizations. Specifically, this means creating an RD & I Department, or some area that branches across the other functions. The mission of this cross-functional unit is the actual implementation of the RD & I chain in the educational organization, as well as an incentive for innovative activities: use of ICT applications, organizational improvement, improved assessment, analysis of information produced by the organization itself, cost-benefit analysis, strategic decision-making processes, and so on.
教育心理学作为心理学的一个专门研究形成过程的领域，在21世纪的信息和知识社会中面临着几个重要挑战。其中一个挑战是促进从几乎完全专注于社会科学的范式向一门产生创新并实现科技有意义转化的学科的科技方法转变。研究、开发与创新（RD & I）价值链意味着在教育心理学的学术和专业领域中追求这三项努力。这是一种创新策略，引导我们整合活动（R）、与研究相关或专业的活动（D）以及活动（I）。产生适用于教育情境的创新和转化，可以成为教育心理学新从业心理学家活动的重要刺激因素。RD & I价值链在不同活动中可以成为学术、与研究相关或专业的优势，因为它涉及教育心理学领域中的过程、产品和服务。文中给出了几个RD & I链如何有助于改善心理教育活动的例子。首先，我们分析RD & I链在竞争性投标中可以提供的竞争性改进。其次，我们给出RD & I链在特定领域新过程、产品和服务开发中的例子，具体说明每种情况下的链条。为了使这一概念得以形成，必须在专业和教育组织中创建一个新的跨职能领域。具体而言，这意味着创建一个RD & I部门，或者某个跨越其他职能的领域。这个跨职能单位的使命是在教育组织中实际实施RD & I链，以及激励创新活动：信息通信技术应用的使用、组织改进、改进评估、对组织自身产生的信息的分析、成本效益分析、战略决策过程等等。
