Importance of Educational Psychology

Education has always been something fundamental for the progression of a society and to measure the wealth of a country. There are currently a large number of educational centers, for all ages, which are making the new generations people who leave behind the illiteracy and ignorance of other times where there were fewer resources and access to studies.

While it is true that for a long time, from the democracy, has been implanted public education for everyone, the same has also been maintained for quite some time philosophy as far as transmission of knowledge by teachers is concerned. However, for the past couple of decades, there have been many movements that were hesitant about the approach of just listening to a teacher, take notes, take some exams and little else, since they considered that it was not the most appropriate method for the learning.

This led to the search for a more effective way of transmitting this knowledge, but in a more attractive to the students and, at the same time, to encourage the teacher himself to better communicate his knowledge. This would create a feedback dynamic between the student and the teacher.

The key appeared when betting on the psychology educational, which deals primarily with how to teach the student a subject and how the student learns it. For this it is important to have some clear key points. One of them is to carefully study the subject that is taught, analyzing it and adapting it to each educational stage as best as possible, so that it is understood by the student who studies it.

On the other hand, it is also necessary to analyze the students from their point of view as a receiver. That is, to know what are the mechanisms that the student uses to learn that subject and also what motivates him the most to establish a communication active and direct relationship between him and the teacher.

Another point, also essential, is focused on the teacher, that is, the person in charge of teaching the subject. In addition to the knowledge that this person has and his ability to transmit it, educational psychology offers mechanisms through guides, specialized courses, etc., so that all this capacity increases and it is much easier for him to teach and create that bond with the student so that he feels more attracted.

In addition to this, there is something fundamental, and that is that educational psychology deals with creating a series of specialties that provide what is necessary to create a connection network between the subject, the teacher and the student. Thus, thanks to it, there are study plans, special education classrooms..., which help the transmission of all knowledge in an effective way, for all and achieving the ultimate goal: the learning.
