Educational psychology is the branch of psychology concerned with the scientific study of human learning.
It is the study of how people learn,including teaching methods, instructional processes, and individual differences in learning. This branch of psychology focuses on the learning process of early childhood and adolescence, also explores the social, emotional, and cognitive processes that are involved in learning throughout the entire lifespan. Educational psychologists use this understanding of how people learn to develop instructional strategies and help students succeed in school.
Educational psychology is an important tool for teachers that helps them understand what students need to succeed in school and in life. It also helps them to teach effectively in the classroom. Teachers can help students by using teaching methods and strategies according to the behavior and understanding of the students.
