Educational psychology is the study of how people learn and retain knowledge within educational settings. It explores cognitive, emotional, and social processes involved in learning, as well as individual differences in intelligence, motivation, and development. Key areas include instructional strategies, classroom management, assessment methods, and the influence of environmental factors on learning. Educational psychologists work to improve educational practices by developing effective teaching techniques, enhancing student engagement, and addressing learning disabilities and behavioural issues. Their goal is to create supportive, inclusive, and effective learning environments that foster academic achievement and personal growth for all students.
