Abstract

Education and psychology are interdependent. While the purpose of education has always been imparting knowledge, Psychology has, all through, played a vital role in changing the spirit of it. It has changed the old concept where only upper class had the ability and right to learn, thereby giving education the theory of individual differences that every child has different mental ability and learns with different pace. Educational psychology has thus formed the basis of education today. It has affected education in every field of teaching and learning process. For years, educators have written about the purposes, aims, and goals of educational psychology and have stressed the relevance of the field for the practice of the same. However, educational psychologists seem to be having more and more trouble explaining to educators what they do and why educators should care. This paper, therefore, explores the relevance of educational psychology, noting how it contributes to the preparation of both intelligent quotient as well as the emotional quotient of an individual.
