What Is Educational Psychology?

Educational psychology is the study of how humans learn and
retain knowledge, primarily in educational settings like
classrooms. This includes emotional, social, and cognitive
learning processes. Areas of focus in this branch of
psychology might include teaching and testing methods,
classroom environment, and learning, social, and behavioral
problems that may impede learning.
The majority of educational psychology is geared toward
children, from infancy to adolescence. With more adults
continuing their education in recent years, however, many
educational psychology studies have also focused on adult
learners. This research can help adult learners overcome
obstacles, such as learning disabilities.
On the other hand, Educational psychology can be traced
back to the beginning of the 20th century. In 1903, Edward
Lee Thorndike literally wrote the book on educational
psychology. Not surprisingly, it was entitled
simply Educational Psychology. Later, in 1910, he started
the Journal of Educational Psychology.
Why Do We Need Educational Psychology?
Many of us might take learning and education for granted.
Going to class and being taught is or was just something that
we did. For others, however, learning in a classroom isn't so
simple. For these people, school is an annoying and
frustrating torture, which can often lead to behavioral issues or
even the lack of an education.
Learning disabilities often contribute a great deal to being
unable to retain knowledge in a classroom setting.
Educational psychology, however, can be used to help people
understand and overcome learning disabilities, so they are
able to live up to their full potential in life.

procesos de aprendizaje emocional, social y cognitivo.

Por otra parte, la psicología educativa se remonta a

principios del siglo XX. En 1903, Edward Lee Thorndike
escribió literalmente el libro sobre psicología educativa.
No es de extrañar que se titulase simplemente
Psicología Educativa. Más tarde, en 1910, fundó el
Journal of Educational Psychology.

Para otros, sin embargo, aprender en un aula no es

tan sencillo. Para estas personas, la escuela es una
tortura molesta y frustrante, que a menudo puede
 conducir a problemas de comportamiento o incluso a la
falta de educación.
