Its nature is scientific as it has been accepted that it is a science of
education. We can summarize the nature of educational psychology in
the following ways:
 Educational Psychology is a science
 Educational Psychology is a natural science
 Educational Psychology is a social science
 Educational Psychology is a positive science
 Educational Psychology is an applied science
 Educational Psychology is a developing or
growing science
1. Educational Psychology is a science
Science is a branch of study concerned with observation of facts
and establishment of verifiable general laws. Science employs
certain objective methods for the collection of data like;
o Understanding
o Explaining
o Predicting
o Control of facts
It also developed objective methods of collection of data and aims
at understanding, predicting and controlling human behavior.
2. Educational Psychology is a natural science
An educational psychologist conducts his
investigations, gathers his data and reaches his
conclusions in exactly the same manner as physicist
or the biologist.
3. Educational Psychology is a social science
 Like the sociologist, anthropologist,
economist or political scientist, the
educational psychologist studies human
beings and their sociability.
4. Educational Psychology is a positive science
 Normative science like logic or ethics deals with
facts as they ought to be. A positive science deals
with facts as they are or as they operate.
Educational psychology studies the child’s behavior
as it is, not, as it ought to be. So, it is a positive
science.
5. Educational Psychology is an applied science
 It is the application of psychological principles
in the field of education. By applying the principles
and techniques of psychology, it tries to study the
behavior and experiences of the learners. As a branch
of psychology, it is parallel to any other applied
psychology. For example, educational psychology
draws heavily facts from such areas as developmental
psychology, clinical psychology, abnormal psychology
and social psychology.
6. Educational Psychology is a developing or
growing science
It is concerned with new and ever new
researches. As a research findings accumulate,
educational psychologist get better insight into the
child’s nature and behavior.

How are the Learning Experiences to be
Provided?
 Who is being taught, and what is to be taught and for what purpose?
 How should the child be given the learning experiences planned for different stages
of his growth?
 What is to be done for the proper and effective communication between the
teacher and the taught?
 What should be the appropriate methods and techniques of imparting education to
the children?
 How can children be helped in the acquisition of useful learning experiences for
the desirable modifications in their behavior and appropriate development of their
personality?
Educational Psychology topics
1. Nature, laws and theories of Learning
2. Remembering and forgetting
3. Means of effective learning and memorization
4. Transfer of learning or training
5. Sensation and perception
6. Concept formation
7. Interest and attitude formation thinking,
reasoning and problem solving behavior etc.
When and Where are the Learning
Experiences to be Provided?
 Every time and place or environment situation is not suitable for a
particular piece of instruction or the sharing of learning
experiences.
 Educational psychology helps the teacher and the learners to
understand the suitability and appropriateness of a teaching-
learning situation for the effective realization of the teaching-
learning objectives.
 Classroom climate
 Institutional/ organizational climate
 Individual, self, supervised and group study
 Factors affecting attention
 Role of rewards and punishment
 Group behavior and group dynamics
 Guidance and counselling
The scope of a fast growing subject like Educational Psychology cannot be
limited in such a way. Educational Psychology being a science of education has
to supply the necessary knowledge and skills for carrying out all the tasks of
education. Education cannot be static and fixed or unchanging as it has to be
planned according to the changing circumstances and needs of a particular
society or nation. To meet the emerging problems and demands in the field of
education, Educational Psychology has to work hard to keep evolving new
concepts, principles and techniques. The subject matter of Educational
Psychology as also its field of operation is, therefore, expanding day by day and
in view of this, it is not possible to limit the scope of this subject. It would, in
fact, be unwise to do so. Such a step would not only hamper the progress of this
fast growing and developing science of behavior but would also hinder the
realization of the objectives o education. Hence, it is only right not to strictly
define expansion and declare it as having no limits to effectively fulfil the aims
and objectives of education
