The Psychology of Learning in Education 教育心理学 (EDC513)

It is widely acknowledged that education does not conform to a “one size fits all” approach. What works for one type of learner, and in one context does not necessarily work in another setting. There is no panacea for educational challenges. The Psychology of Learning in Education (PLE) explores core constructs and theories in the field of educational psychology. It explores historical and contemporary views of human development across the lifespan, how and why individuals learn, what helps individuals learn better, and the corresponding implications for how they should be taught. Emphasis is placed on exploring theory-practice interconnections, and illustrating how theories can inform and enhance complex practice. In so doing, it is hoped that educators would gain a deeper understanding of the principles guiding their pedagogic decisions and the potential impact they may have on student learning outcomes. 人们普遍认为，教育不可能""一刀切""。对某一类型的学习者和在某一环境中有效的方法，在另一环境中不一定有效。世上没有解决所有教育难题的灵丹妙药。教育心理学（PLE）探讨了教育心理学领域的核心结构和理论， 包括跨越人类一生发展的当代和历史观点、个人学习的方式和原因、如何帮助个人更好地学习，以及如何教学。该课程着重于探索理论与实践之间的相互联系，阐释如何运用理论指导复杂的实践。本课程旨在让学员更深入地理解那些指导他们教学决策的理论原则以及可能对学生学习成果产生的潜在影响。
