Each student (or group) is responsible for ONE theoretical framework or perspective and must contribute academically accurate, well-structured content.
Title: Theoretical Frameworks of Educational Psychology
Intro Text :
Educational psychology provides scientific frameworks for understanding learners, learning processes, teaching practices, and educational environments.
This collaborative wiki brings together the main theoretical perspectives discussed in this lesson, supported by scholarly quotations and classroom-based examples.
(e.g. Cognitive Framework, Developmental Framework, Applied/Behaviorist Framework, Environmental Framework)
▪ Provide one clear definition
▪ Include ONE direct quotation (author + year)
✍ Example:
“Learning is a process in which the learner actively constructs meaning.” (Bruner, 1966)
▪ Explain the definition clearly
What does it emphasize (learner, teacher, process, environment)?
▪ Name 1–2 key theorists
▪ Briefly state their contribution
Skinner → reinforcement
Vygotsky → ZPD
🔹 5. Classroom Example
▪ Give ONE realistic educational example, such as:
Using rewards to increase participation
Peer tutoring (ZPD)
👉 The example must clearly reflect the framework
▪ Explain why this framework is important for teachers
▪ Answer:
How does it improve teaching or learning?
What type of instructional decisions does it support?
