What is the roles of research in educational psychology?

Back 2

Research in educational psychology focuses on the processes by which information skills, values, and attitudes are communicated between teachers and students in teh classroom and on applications of the principles of psychology to instructional practices. Such research shapes educational policies professional development programs and teaching materials.

Front 3

What Research methods are used in educational psychology?

Back 3

--experimental research which involves particular eduacational programs or treatments
--random assignment of experimental subjeccts into groups which ensures groups are equivalent and findings are valid
--lab experiments which are highly sturctured and short term
--randomized field experiments are less structured and take place ver a long period of time under realistic conditions in which not all variables can be controlled
--single case experiment involves observation of one student or group of students over a specified period before and after treatment
--descriptive research which uses surveys, interviews, and observations to describe behavior in social settings.
