EDL 612 Advanced Educational Psychology

This course provides a detailed analysis of modern learning theories and practices as they relate to education. It proceeds on a detailed investigation of major research in educational psychology focusing on learning cognition. This course equips educators to think about how students learn at various levels of development, to make decisions before and during instruction, and to consider what constitutes evidence that students are learning and succeeding. During this exploration into human growth and development, as well as teaching methods, students will begin to develop their own personal theory of learning built on solid principles but having practical application. As students advance through the course, a common theme continues to be how psychological principles illuminate processes of learning and teaching and how theory, research, and practice inform each other in order to improve our efforts as educators. Pre-requisite(s): None. Co-requisite(s): None. 3 semester hours
