VIII. The text below is concerned with the application of psychology in children's education. Read the text and identify the topic.
An understanding of educational psychology.
Purpose of educational psychology.
Methods of educational psychology.
...An understanding of educational psychology will put the teacher in a better position to decide what can be dome and how. What will not work and why. It will give him a clearer perspective of what constitutes realistic goals for the child in his present state of development and how he can be helped to achieve these goals. It should enable the teacher to do a more effective job of gearing the curriculum to the needs, goals, and purposes of individual children in his class, and to avoid much of the difficulty experienced by teachers who operate on the premise that children should adapt their needs and goals to the curriculum set by the teacher. In short, an understanding of educational psychology should increase the effectiveness with which the teacher helps the child make maximum progress toward the realization of his capacities.
...The beginning teacher is often tempted to use threats of detention, failing grades, and other forms of punishment instead of something more constructive from a long-term point of view. Furthermore, there are timed when the best procedure for a given situation is not clear. As a result, the new teacher is often so much at a loss he is willing to grasp at any method regardless of its effectiveness.
Actually, psychology is better at telling what not to do than it is at telling what to do. Laymen are often annoyed at what they consider the psychologists evasiveness when he answers "It depends" to their questions as to what should be done about a given child or what is the most opportunite age to introduce a certain academic task. Educational psychology does not provide the teacher with a computer to advise him when the child is ripe for a given activity, it can only alert him to the principles on the basis of which sound decisions can be made.
