First, the theoretical role of educational psychology

It is of great theoretical significance to understand the basic psychological laws of middle schools for situational teaching in schools. First of all, educational psychology explores and reveals some psychological laws from the perspective of educational process, which not only enriches the general theory of general psychology, but also contributes to the theoretical development of the whole psychology. For example, the memory law displayed by students studying educational psychology in the process of learning knowledge is of great significance to the study of general psychology and even the whole human memory.

Second, the practical role of educational psychology

Humans can transform the world and create new things, mainly because people can constantly understand the development law of objective things in practice and act according to the objective laws. If teachers and educators want to make education and teaching more effective, they must constantly discover, grasp and correctly apply the laws existing in the process of education and teaching, including the psychological laws of learning and teaching revealed by educational psychology. Educational psychology, as an applied discipline, pays more attention to studying and revealing the specific laws existing in education and teaching practice, thus directly providing guidance for school education.

Third, the practical role of educational psychology is reflected in the following aspects:

1. Help the teacher understand the problem accurately.

2. Provide scientific theoretical guidance for practical teaching.

3. Help teachers predict and interfere with students.

4. Help teachers to conduct research in combination with teaching practice.
