Students will have an improved understanding of human behaviour and
mental processes within an educational context. The course covers
the following aspects of educational psychology: history, learning
theories, student development theories, motivation, and some
classroom management skills. We look at the history of the subject,
including where thinking is now, topics and specialisms within this
area, and the importance of Educational Psychology. The process of
learning can be physical, social, or emotional as well as
cognitive, the results of which are a permanent change in
behaviour, skills, knowledge, or attitude. We will explain various
theories and guide you through well-practiced processes. Students
will learn about childhood growth and developmental experiences in
relation to the teaching process. Providing an overview of the
stages of development, we then look at each stage individually,
before moving on to some specific areas of development. We look at
the differences in motivation and how to tune into student's
choices, desires, and attitudes, to aid their motivation. The
module discusses 7 major theories about motives and their sources,
these are:
- Motives as behaviour change
- Motives as goals
- Motives as interests
- Motives as attributions about success
- Motives as beliefs about self-efficacy
- Motives as self-determination
- Expectancy-value theory
We illustrate the ways students can be different, and how these
differences are reflected in how they learn. We cover topics such
as: the way in which individuals prefer to learn, different
intelligence types, gifted students, cultural expectations, and
gender differences. Looking at special educational needs. We
include how to recognise the signs of certain conditions and how to
adapt learning to fit those with additional needs, be they
physical, intellectual, sensory, learning or behavioural, so that
they may still reach their full potential. The course discusses the
three somewhat complex forms of thinking that are commonly pursued
in classroom learning: critical thinking, creative thinking, and
problem-solving. The course then goes on to explain how these are
stimulated, using two types of instruction: Teacher-Directed and
Student-Centred.
