Information Booster:
Educational Psychology is the branch of psychology concerned with the scientific study of human learning in educational settings. Here's a breakdown:
Positive Science: Educational psychology relies on observation, experimentation, and data to understand and improve learning, making it a positive (descriptive) science rather than normative (which deals with what ought to be).
Applied Nature: It takes principles from psychology and applies them to real-world classroom situations — for example, in behavior management, motivation, assessment, and pedagogy.
(2) Social science without scientific nature: Incorrect — educational psychology is scientific, involving experiments and studies.
(3) Applied and normative science: Partially correct but normative science implies value judgments, which psychology avoids.
(4) Normative science with future prediction: Prediction is a function, but educational psychology is not normative.
