Psychology Of Education: Behaviourism (the behaviourist approach to educational psychology), which originated with the work of Edward L.Thorndike and John B. Watson and culminated in that of B. F. Skinner, focuses on the control of behaviour through reinforcement.
During the early 19th c Johann
Jean Jacques Rousseau's naturalistic, child-centred approach to education and was acclaimed for developing a psychology of education.
Educational psychology began to emerge as an applied speciality withir.
Where no sectarian term would be appropriate, the more general term "religious education" may be used. (For training of the clergy, see THEOLOGICAL EDUCATION.)
The conception of common elements of educational theory and practice among the various religious groups has been fostered by studies in the psychology and sociology of religion. The modern psychology of religion, as developed under the leadership of William Tames (1842-1910), George Albert Coe (1862-1951), Edwin D. Star-buck (1866-1947), and James Bissett Pratt (1875-1944), has demonstrated that true religious experience involves both the discrimination of truth ind value by the believer and his integral be-mvioral response to such truth and value.
Educational psychology emerged as a distinct discipline in the early 1900s. However, the origins of educational psychology can be traced to ancient Greek philosophers.
Educational psychology, a field of study that investigates problems of teaching and learning, shares some of the characteristics of cognitive psychology and behaviourism.
