Early Childhood Educational Psychology

Who supports children and young people with various issues and learning difficulties? This course will elaborate on the role and capabilities of educational psychologists who identify needs and offer appropriate interventions to overcome learning issues. As a discipline, educational psychology can potentially improve the quality of education imparted to children in their early years.

You will learn about the developmental theories explaining how children change and grow throughout childhood. The theories covered in this course are Freud’s psychosexual developmental theory, Erikson’s psychosocial developmental theory, and Piaget’s cognitive developmental theory. A question arises– why is developmental psychology critical in early childhood education? This course will explain why and teach how to apply developmental psychology by considering a child's mental, physical, and social development.

A vivid description of an educational psychologist will state the exact nature of their work and challenges. You will learn about the signs that imply intervention by an educational psychologist. The psychology of learning is then explained before you finally get an overview of child psychology. Your understanding will be enhanced by applying educational psychology in a real-life scenario. The field of educational psychology has the potential to help both students and teachers, enabling educators to create meaningful educational experiences, measure learning, and improve student motivation.
