PURPOSE OF THE BOOK
Educational Psychology for Learning and Teaching
introduces key theories of development and learning to
help you understand how learners learn, and how
educators can be more effective in their teaching practice.
Featuring current research on the various dimensions of
learning and teaching alongside traditional theories, it
provides a clear framework of theory and evidence that
supports modern education practices.
Taking a comprehensive approach, this text investigates
how to apply psychology principles to education contexts
to enhance learning and teaching quality, particularly for
accommodating individual student needs.
