EDUCATION 222-2 ?
EDUCATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY LABORATORY
This course has been designed as a companion to EDUC 220-3. In EDUC 220,
students learn about major theories and findings in educational psychology and
how that information applies to teaching. In EDUC 222, we invite students to
learn more, not only about the theories studied in EDUC 220, but also about how
educational psychologists conduct research to clarify, test, or develop theory.
Students will learn how practicing teachers can enhance their professional
development by accessing and applying principles discovered in the research
conducted by educational psychologists, and by informally, yet systematically,
examining their own teaching practice. To learn more about the applicability of
research to practice, students will read, interpret, evaluate, participate in, and
plan research.
