Educational Psychology is the discipline which applies knowledge of mental, neural and social processes to learning in educational contexts. The course is aimed at introducing students to knowledge, techniques and methods employed in this discipline, with the purpose of offering not only a theoretical basis but also practical knowledge and the techniques useful to the educational profession.
