CEP 501LEC - Psychological Foundations of Education

This course is designed to engage students in the field of Educational Psychology and its contributions to classroom teaching and learning. We will explore thinking, learning, relationships, culture, background and experiences and how these relate to teaching and learning. Through lectures, discussions, and interactive exercises, we will explore the dynamic relationship between students, the teacher, and the learning environment. Discussion will focus on both theoretical models and real world applications, with emphasis on contemporary approaches to stimulating active and reflective learning and the improvement of the quality of education we provide to students.
