EDUCATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY MOST IMP QUESTION MP3 PART 10 BY IMPGK GURU
Educational psychology is the branch of psychology concerned with the
scientific study of human learning. The study of learning processes,
from both cognitive and behavioral perspectives, allows researchers to
understand individual differences in intelligence, cognitive
development, affect, motivation, self-regulation, and self-concept, as
well as their role in learning. The field of educational psychology
relies heavily on quantitative methods, including testing and
measurement, to enhance educational activities related to instructional
design, classroom
management, and assessment, which serve to facilitate learning processes in various educational settings across the lifespan.
Educational psychology can in part be understood through its
relationship with other disciplines. It is informed primarily by
psychology, bearing a relationship to that discipline analogous to the
relationship between medicine and biology.
It is also informed by neuroscience. Educational psychology in turn
informs a wide range of specialities within educational studies,
including instructional design, educational technology, curriculum
development, organizational learning, special education, classroom
management, and student motivation.
Educational psychology both draws from and contributes to cognitive science and the learning sciences.
In universities, departments of educational psychology are usually
housed within faculties of education, possibly accounting for the lack
of representation of educational psychology content in introductory
psychology textbooks.
The field of educational psychology involves the study of memory,
conceptual processes, and individual differences (via cognitive
psychology) in conceptualizing new strategies for learning processes in
humans. Educational psychology has been built upon theories of operant
conditioning, functionalism, structuralism, constructivism, humanistic
psychology, Gestalt psychology, and information processing.
Educational psychology has seen rapid growth and development as a
profession in the last twenty years. School psychology began with the
concept of intelligence testing leading to provisions for special
education students, who could not follow the regular classroom
curriculum in the early part of the 20th century. However, "school
psychology" itself has built a fairly new profession based upon the
practices and theories of several psychologists among many different
fields. Educational psychologists are working side by side with
psychiatrists, social workers, teachers, speech and language therapists,
and counselors in attempt to understand the questions being raised when
combining behavioral, cognitive, and social psychology in the classroom
setting
