Understanding Educational Psychology
Educational psychology delves into how students learn, encompassing various factors that influence their academic journey. According to available references, it involves studying:
- Memory processes
- Conceptual understanding
- Knowledge retention capabilities
- The overall behavior of a student within an educational setting.
Thorndike's work laid the foundation for understanding these aspects and applying psychological principles to improve teaching methods and learning outcomes.
