Overview

Educational Psychology: Integrating Global Learning Sciences with African Educational Realities offers a comprehensive and contemporary exploration of how students learn, develop, and thrive-grounded in global research but intentionally contextualized for African educational systems. Written by Januarius Jingwa Asongu, PhD, and Nicholas Asongu Jingwa, PhD, this advanced textbook bridges cutting-edge learning sciences with the cultural, linguistic, and socioeconomic realities shaping classrooms across Africa. The book integrates foundational theories of cognition, motivation, development, and assessment with insights from cognitive neuroscience, sociocultural psychology, and inclusive education. It emphasizes how global theories must be interpreted through local lenses-recognizing the impact of multilingualism, communal learning traditions, postcolonial schooling structures, resource limitations, and the lived experiences of African learners. Designed for M.Ed. students, educational psychologists, teacher educators, and practicing teachers, the text prepares readers to evaluate research critically, design culturally relevant interventions, and support diverse learners effectively. Its clear structure, African case studies, and application-oriented approach make it both academically rigorous and practically useful. This book fills a significant gap in the literature by offering an educational psychology text that speaks directly to African contexts while maintaining global relevance-empowering educators to teach with deeper insight, cultural sensitivity, and professional confidence.
