Educational psychology is a discipline that studies the psychological behavior and psychological phenomena of human beings in the process of learning and education, involving many important concepts and principles. Below, we briefly introduce some important terminology interpretation principles in educational psychology.
First, cognitive psychology.
Cognitive psychology is an important branch of educational psychology, which mainly studies people's thinking and knowledge acquisition process. Among them, the most important concept is "cognition", that is, the process in which the human brain receives, processes, stores and uses information. Cognitive psychology mainly studies human cognition, thinking, language, memory, way of thinking and many other aspects.
Second, neuropsychology.
Neuropsychology is a subject that studies the relationship between human brain and psychological activities. It combines physiology and psychology, and mainly studies the relationship between the brain and psychological activities such as memory, learning and cognition. Among them, the structure and function of the brain, the development and disorder of the brain are all important objects of neuropsychological research.
Third, the theory of influencing factors
The theory of influencing factors is one of the important theories in educational psychology research, which holds that people's behavior and psychological state are influenced by many factors. These factors include family, education and social environment, as well as intelligence, attitudes and values within individuals. The theory of influencing factors especially emphasizes the importance of family, education and social environment to individual development.
Fourth, self-efficacy theory.
Self-efficacy theory means that individuals believe that they can produce expected results in specific situations. It holds that when individuals perform a task or action, they constantly improve their self-efficacy through self-evaluation and reflection, thus showing better behavior and performance. The level of self-efficacy has a significant impact on individual behavior and inner state.
In educational practice, we should fully tap students' self-potential and autonomous learning ability, enhance and improve their sense of self-efficacy, so as to better achieve their learning goals.
The Importance of Educational Psychology
The importance of educational psychology lies in that it can provide a profound understanding of psychological phenomena in the process of human learning and education. Educational psychology combines psychological knowledge with educational practice, which can help educators better understand students' psychological state and needs, help students better understand and deal with the problems encountered in the learning process, and improve the learning effect.
