Document Summary
Chapter 1: educational psychology and teacher decision making. Educational psychology: a discipline encompassing psychological principles and theories related to learning, motivation, child an adolescent development, individual and group differences, and psychological assessment, especially as these topics relate to classroom practice. Elaboration: a cognitive process in which learners expand on new information based on what they already know. Descriptive study: a research that describes situations. Such a study enables researchers to draw conclusions about the current state of affairs but not about correlational or cause-effect relationships. Correlational study: a research study that explores relationships among variables. Such a study enables researchers to predict one variable on the basis of their knowledge of another but not to draw a conclusion about a cause-effect relationship. Correlation: the extent to which two variables are related to each other, such that when one variable increases, the other either increases or decreases in a somewhat predictable way.
