Key Facts

Educational psychology is the science of learners and learning and draws upon rigorous research to apply psychological principles to educational issues.  Educational psychologists are interested in factors that affect student learning, engagement, and motivation, and often consider features of biology, individual differences, and development, as well as social and contextual factors.  

Educational psychology also involves learning the techniques of the scientific method that apply to our field: using tests and measurements, statistics, and research methodology. Thus, major courses are designed to help you learn about these topics while also helping you learn the methods in how knowledge is gained in the field.
