Educational Psychology
Kelvin Seifert & Rosemary Sutton · Global Text Project
This text is an introductory overview of conventional educational psychology for teacher education.

However, the division between “theory” and “practice” is only approximate; all parts of the book draw on research, theory, and practical wisdom wherever appropriate.
