One of the most popular areas of psychology is educational psychology. Educational psychology can be explained in several ways. The idea is to study theories and concepts from different parts of psychology and apply them in educational contexts. These educational contexts can occur in different school settings such as preschool. The goal of educational psychology is to create a positive relationship between student and teacher. Educational psychology uses five different types of psychology, behavioral, cognitive, developmental and social cognitive, and constructivist. In this research paper, I will briefly discuss each type of psychology listed above. Behaviorism is the view where learning and behavior are described and explained in terms of stimulus-response relationships. Behaviorists agree that an individual's behavior results from their interaction with the environment. Feedback, praise, and rewards are all ways people can respond to conditioning. The emphasis is on observable events rather than events that occur in the head. The belief that learning only occurs if there is an observable change in behavior. “The first and most ardent behaviorist was Watson (1931; Medcof and Roth, 1991; Hill 1997). His fundamental conclusion from numerous experimental observations of animal and child learning was that stimulus-response (SR) connections are more likely to be established the more frequent or more recent an SR connection is. A child solving a numerical problem may have to make many unsuccessful attempts before arriving at the correct solution” (Childs, 2004). Cognitive psychology focuses on learning based on how people perceive, remember, think, speak, and solve problems. The cognitive perspective differs in... middle of article ...... social aspects of cooperative learning. In conclusion, auditory learners prefer to learn things visually; they prefer to listen to instructions. Rather, kinesthetic learners touch and feel what they do. A teacher must evaluate his class to see what type of learners he has in his class to be a more effective teacher. Because in educational psychology, there are many branches of psychology that are used to determine learning in the classroom.Works CitedWillingham, D. (2009).
