Psychological Foundations of Education: Core Foundations of Psychology in Education

This first part of the book, Foundations of Educational Psychology, focuses on the essential principles of psychology as applied to educational contexts. It explores the fundamental concepts of general and educational psychology, including their history, nature, scope, and the relationship between psychology and education. The section also delves into the stages of human development, psychological methods of teaching, and key behavioral tendencies relevant to classroom practice.

The aim of this book is to provide future educators, student-teachers, and education scholars with a comprehensive understanding of children's mental, physical, social, moral, conceptual, and language development. This knowledge equips educators to create inclusive, effective, and developmentally appropriate learning environments that foster the holistic growth of learners.
