I am planning to examine the emergence of the institutionalization of educational psychology and its subsequent impact on pedagogy around from circa 1880-1910. I would like to focus a portion of my examination on the contents of two or three influential journals pertinent to the field of educational psychology during the period. Any suggestions?

A good reference work to consult would be A Cantury of Serial Publications in Psychology 1850-1950 by Donald V. Osier and Robert H. Wozniak (Kraus International Publications, 1984). The bibliography includes an appendix of journals related to child study, child welfare, child education with 100+ (#1152-1268), many of which do cover your time period.The list should definitely include G. Stanley Hall's The Pedagogical Seminary which was published with a couple different subtitles. The original series ran from 1891-1924

Hello Matt.The following three educational journals fit in your (1880-1910) target range.
Education Educational Record School & Society
The contrast between these, and the following two (which appeared *during the later part of your target period*) is "rather interesting" to say the least:
NEA Journal J. of Educ. Psyc.
For a general orientation to the period of school reform and rise of educational psychology that you are dealing with, you might want to check out the following link:

"This chapter traces the changes in the structure and function of American schooling from the 1890s up to World War I and answers why educators were so receptive to the introduction of testing technology for sorting school children" (Ballantyne, 2002).
