Course Curriculum
The detailed curriculum outline of our Educational Psychology is as follows:
Start by exploring what educational psychology is and why it matters in modern education. You’ll discover how psychological principles help educators understand learning, behaviour, and student success.
Take a journey through the evolution of educational psychology and the key ideas that shaped the field. Understanding its history provides valuable context for today’s teaching practices.
Ever wondered why rewards and consequences influence behaviour? This module explains behavioural learning theories and how they can encourage positive learning outcomes in educational settings.
Learning changes as people grow, and this module explores how thinking, memory, and problem-solving develop over time. You’ll see how these stages affect teaching and learning strategies.
- Students learn best when their emotional and social needs are understood. Here, you’ll examine how relationships, emotions, and moral development shape behaviour and academic progress.
Rather than simply receiving information, learners actively build knowledge through experience. You’ll also discover what motivates students and how teachers can inspire meaningful engagement.
- Every learner is unique, and some require additional support. This module introduces dyslexia and other learning difficulties while exploring approaches that promote inclusive learning environments.
Now it’s time to connect theory with everyday teaching. Learn how educational psychology can guide lesson planning, classroom management, learner assessment, and student support.
Technology continues to transform Canadian classrooms. Explore instructional methods alongside digital learning tools that can improve engagement, communication, and educational outcomes.
