Advanced Educational Psychology (Paperback - 2022)

Educational psychology remains no more confined to the application of psychological principles, rather it strives to test their validity to regular day-to-day teaching. The researches into actual life and problems confronting the process of education are being continuously made by the educational psychologists so as to attain the ends of education. The present book intensively studies factors and conditions that are determinant of learning in the light of researches made by Aristotle, Freud, Adler, Jung, Piaget, Pestalozzi, Herbart, Froebel, Thorndike, Hall to name a few.

Intended primarily to cater to the academic needs of Indian students, the present book is unique in itself as it is not set in the Western environment and ideally keeps pace with the recent developments in the subject. Easily comprehensible and lucid in style, the book is rich in its contents and coverage. While its Bibliography will enable the students to pursue the topics in greater detail, the question bank will facilitate recapturing of the topics discussed. It will undoubtedly prove useful to students, teachers, educators, guidance and counseling personnel, and administrators of educational institutions.
