Educational psychology is a branch of psychology dedicated to understanding how humans learn in educational settings, the effectiveness of educational interventions, and the psychology of teaching. The main aim of this field is the development of the Student. Its core focus is on optimizing learning processes, cognitive growth, and socio-emotional well-being for individual learners.
