EDUC - 260. Educational Psychology

Educational Psychology is a social science course focused on theories and research concerning human learning, development, motivation, assessment, and educational contexts. Students examine how individuals learn and develop across social, cultural, and institutional settings, with particular attention to cognition, social-emotional development, individual differences, and learners’ developmental stages from early childhood through adolescence. The course emphasizes critical engagement with psychological concepts and empirical evidence as tools for understanding learning environments, interpreting educational experience, and analyzing the conditions that support learning for diverse student populations. At least one course assignment requires observation and/or participation in an educational setting to connect course concepts to practical applications.
