Spanish to English translations [PRO]
Social Sciences - Education / Pedagogy
Spanish term or phrase: Atención pedagógica
The context is that it's referring to career options for psychology graduates. I'm struggling with the wording for the whole sentence, so if you could have a quick glance at the rest as well, that would be great.

La atención pedagógica, la orientación escolar y el asesoramiento didáctico, en centros de enseñanza, social, centros de educación especial, etc.

¿¿¿Teaching help???, school guidance, social advice and conultancy for teachers and in ordinary and special education centres.

Educational attention/assistance
Explanation:
My experience, at least in Spain, is that the word "pedagogico" is used where in English we use "education". Assitance would be another possibility. Good luck!

Pedagogic attention, school orientation and didactic advice, in social learning centers, special education centers, etc.

Atención pedagógica puede abarcar un sinfín de características, por lo que yo lo dejaría tal cual.

agree  Eileen Brophy: why modify, when Pedagogic exists and is clearly a definition of the word?

Explanation:
Your own suggestion is better. Of course 'pedagogic' exists in English, but it's used far less that 'pedagógico' in Spanish.

Atención pedagógica
Pedagogical /Educational support


Explanation:
Perhaps 'atención' here is more the sense of providing support. I would say that pedagogical is more common than pedagogic, but I agree with David that educational sounds more natural in English, unless the context is education theory, in which case pedagogical would be acceptable.
