What is Educational Psychology?
Educational Psychology is a branch of psychology that studies how people learn in educational settings, the effectiveness of educational interventions, the psychology of teaching, and the social psychology of schools as organizations. It encompasses a wide range of topics, including cognitive and developmental psychology, motivation, learning theories, assessment, and educational interventions.
Educational psychologists work with educators, students, and parents to develop and implement effective learning strategies, identify and address learning difficulties, and promote positive learning environments. They may also conduct research to better understand how people learn and how to improve educational practices and policies.
Overall, educational psychology seeks to improve educational outcomes by applying psychological theories and research to the development and implementation of educational programs, interventions, and policies.
