Educational Psychology
Kelvin Seifert & Rosemary Sutton · Global Text Project
This text is an introductory overview of conventional educational psychology for teacher education. The first half of the book focuses on broader questions and principles taken from psychology per se, and the second half focuses on somewhat more practical issues of teaching. However, the division between “theory” and “practice” is only approximate; all parts of the book draw on research, theory, and practical wisdom wherever appropriate.
