What's the difference between psychology and pedagogy?
1. Psychology (English name) is a science that studies the occurrence, development and activity law of human and animal psychological phenomena. Psychology not only studies animal psychology (the main purpose of studying animal psychology is to deeply understand and predict the occurrence and development law of human psychology) but also studies human psychology, with human psychological phenomena as the main research object. Therefore, in a word, psychology is a science that studies psychological phenomena and psychological laws.

2. Pedagogy is a social science that studies educational phenomena and problems, summarizes the scientific theory and practice of human educational activities, explores and solves practical educational problems encountered in the process of the emergence and development of educational activities, and thus reveals the general laws of education. Education is an activity widely existing in human social life and purposefully cultivating talents. The research of pedagogy is objective, inevitable, stable, repetitive, realistic, dialectical and scientific.
