Educational Psychology
A branch of psychology that studies
children in an educational setting and is concerned with teaching and learning
methods, cognitive development, and aptitude assessment.
Educational psychology involves the study of how people learn,
including topics such as student outcomes, the instructional process,
individual differences in learning, gifted learners and learning disabilities.
It seems too simple to say that educational psychology is the
psychology of learning and teaching, and yet a majority of educational
psychologists spend their time studying ways to describe and improve learning
and teaching.
Education
The process of receiving or giving systematic instruction,
especially at a school or university.
The process of teaching or learning, especially in a school or college, or the knowledge that you get from this:
Theory
A set of principles on which the
practice of an activity is based.
An idea used to account for a
situation or justify a course of action.
Theory explains how some aspect of human behavior or performance is
organized. It thus enables us to make predictions about that behavior.
Learning
Knowledge acquired through experience, study, or being taught
Method
Orderliness of thought or behavior; systematic planning or
action.
A method is a programmed procedure that is defined as part of
a class and included in
any object of that class.
Curriculum

college
The
term curriculum refers
to the lessons and academic content taught in a school or in a specific course
or program.
Approach

something, typically a proposal or request.
Psychology
The scientific study of the human mind and its functions,
especially those affecting behavior in a given context.
Psychology is the science of the mind and
behavior. The word "psychology" comes from the Greek word psyche
meaning "breathe, spirit, soul", and the Greek word logia meaning the
study of something.
Behavior
Teaching
The range of professional duties performed by teachers is
wide and extensive. At the heart of a teacher's role is the promotion of
learning for all pupils.
Attitude
A position of the body proper to or implying an action or
mental state.
A predisposition or a tendency to respond positively or
negatively towards a certain idea, object, person, or situation. Attitude influences an individual's choice of action, and responses to challenges, incentives, and rewards (together called stimuli).
Profession
A profession is something a little more than a job, it is a career for
someone that wants to be part of society, who becomes competent in their chosen sector through training;
maintains their skills through continuing professional development (CPD);
and commits to behaving ethically, to protect the interests of the public.
Process
Perform a series of mechanical or chemical operations on
(something) in order to change or preserve it.
A process is a collection of interrelated work tasks
initiated in response to an event that achieves a specific result for the customer
of the process.
