Educational Psychology

Educational Psychology (USA Standards) is a profession concerned with the ways in which students learn and develop. It emphasizes trends in educational development while also focusing on educational diversity. For teachers and trainers to fulfill their instructional role most effectively, their teaching methods must be grounded in educational psychology. Educational psychology provides a framework for teachers and trainers to plan, create and deliver effective lessons, and assess each student’s learning.
