,General introduction
Educational psychology:
- Branch of psychology concerned with the scientific study of human learning
- The study of learning processes allows researchers to understand individual differences in;
intelligence, cognitive development, motivation, etc.
Why do we do educational research?:
- To explore issues, to shape policy, to improve practice
How do we study this?:
- Quantitative research: counting and measuring, comparing conditions, statistical analysis
- Qualitative research: use surveys, interviews, observation, more in-depth research
Psychology
Educational psychology
- Goals: enhance learning, instructional design, learning, classroom management, assessment
- Describe learning (‘qualitative’): observation, questionnaires, interviews, case studies
- Explain learning: controlled experiments, laboratory situations
Psychology
- Past: about the soul than conscious than behaviour
o Discipline searched for subject and method for a long time
Different method (from relation between how people perceive the world
and what really happens to, science of introspection)
Experimental: psychophysics, introspection (study of consciousness)
Non-experimental (pseudoscience): psychoanalysis
- Now: study of mind (brain) and behavior
o Nowadays: relevant and important
Early psychology: consciousness (and its relation to the real world)
- How to study consciousness: changing stimuli and asking how they perceive them (to people)
- Edward Tichener: structuralism our consciousness is build-up of different dimensions of
consciousness systematic analysis of structure of consciousness (of the dimensions)
study this structure the method to do so = introspection (no practical use, no practical
answer)
Changing views beginning of the 20th century
- Alternative view (John Watson): psychology as the study of behavior
- Goal: psychology as one of the natural sciences
Behaviorism
Characteristics of behaviorism
- Same principles apply to all organisms
o Evolutionary explanations
2
, o Parsimonious (simple) explanations
- Study behavior without reference to internal process
(they don’t deny these processes, but don’t refer to this because you don’t know enough
about it)
- Learning is a change in behavior: no change in behavior behaviorism: no learning has
taken place
Assumptions of behaviorism
1. Same principles apply to all organisms: equipotentiality
o Evolutionary theory (humans aren’t very different from other organisms)
2. No internal/mental explanations
o Don’t look at internal explanations, but to the behavior
3. Learning is a change in behavior
o All learning van be defined in the change in behavior
4. Blank slate (tabula rasa)
o Born with a blank slate everything we pick up is learned (not born with)
5. Learning is the result of environmental events
o Nothing in yourself creates learning (learning happens because of your
actions/behavior)
6. Parsimonious theories
o The theories are simple and possible (doesn’t always work)
- Debate on these assumptions is possible (behaviorists may disagree)
Classical conditioning
- Learning by association (Pavlov): conditioned stimulus (CS), unconditioned stimulus (US),
conditioned response (CR), unconditioned response (UR)
- Learning: associating CS and US UR (‘contiguity’)
Results: CS CR
o Extinction of the conditioned response
(when you keep blowing the whistle, the CR will extinct) the response will
decrease (maybe because dog is disappointed)
But: spontaneous recovery of CR CR will reoccur (memory)
- Other phenomena:
o Second-order conditioning
E.g.; after conditioning the whistle, you use another neutral stimulus and
after a while get a conditioned response after only using the neutral stimulus
(now CS) require more trials
Important for learning, things become associated with each other
