Overview

The psychology of learning is a theoretical science that covers the various psychological theories that relate to learning. Throughout history, there have been many various psychological learning theories. Some take on a more behaviorist approach which focuses on inputs and reinforcements. Other approaches, such as theories related to neuroscience and social cognition, focus more on the brain's organization and structure to define learning. Some psychological approaches, such as social constructivism, focus more on one's interaction with the environment and with others. Other theories, such as those related to motivation, like the growth mindset, focus more on the individual. The psychology of learning is also very applicable today. There has been extensive research in recent years that looks closely at how students are learning both inside and outside the classroom. This information is then used to present new and more cooperative approaches to homework, tests, and the student's ability to learn. Theories related to the psychology of learning can also help to explain and improve student performance, motivation, and investment in their learning. It is hoped that this book would meet the requirements of not only the students of education but also all those who are interested in the psychology of learning.
