It is universally accepted that every individual differs from every other individual.
It is helpful for the correct development of the child. Educational psychology has come to the rescue by developing principles and practical measures helpful for providing effective guidance and counselling.
We deal with the environmental factors and learning situations which come midway between the learner and the teacher.
It studies the principles governing growth and development.
The subject-matter of educational psychology is knitted around the learner.
It studies human behaviour in the educational context.
Educational Psychology helps in deciding what learning experiences are desirable, at what stage of the growth and development of the learner.
Effectiveness of learning process always depends on the evaluation as it gives the knowledge of result which helps the learner as well as the teacher to modify or correct oneself.
After knowing the learner and deciding what learning experiences are to be provided, Educational Psychology moves on to the laws, principles and theories of learning.
