Why didn't educational psychology come into being in China?
Because the education of China people comes from Confucius generation and Confucianism, modern western thoughts have been integrated into educational psychology in many aspects, while China's reform and opening up has only been several decades. People's ideas in this regard are still immature, and some people are more conservative.

In addition, due to the rapid development of society, people's psychological quality has not been buffered, and most people only value interests, so they lack attention to this aspect.

However, we do not deny that some pioneers in China have successfully applied educational psychology to create brilliance and achievements. Therefore, educational psychology still exists in China, but in the current social environment, the development space is limited and it doesn't involve too much.

Origin:

Educational psychology became an independent subject at the end of19th century, but many educators in history have been able to carry out targeted teaching according to people's psychological state in educational practice. Confucius, an ancient educator in China, put forward the heuristic teaching method of "if you don't get angry, you will be powerful, if you don't get angry, you will be sad, and if you don't get angry, you will be yourself".

Socrates in ancient Greece also put forward the educational psychology thought that "I am not giving people knowledge, but a midwife who makes knowledge self-generated". The emergence of educational psychology is a historical process in which psychology and pedagogy are combined and gradually form independent branches. /kloc-in the 20th century, with the development of psychology, many scholars tried to demonstrate the educational process from the perspective of psychology.

Herbart is the first scholar who clearly put forward that psychology is the theoretical basis of pedagogy. As early as 1806, the book General Pedagogy was published. This book attempts to explain some problems of education, especially the theoretical problems of teaching, from the perspective of psychology.
