Contemporary issues in the psychology of education reflect the evolving landscape of teaching and learning in a digital world. Educators and psychologists wanting to understand how students think, feel, and behave in educational settings must grapple with challenges like mental health crises, cultural and linguistic diversity, technology integration, and equity in access to education. These issues require evidence-based approaches that consider both cognitive and socio-emotional development, while addressing systemic barriers that impact learning outcomes. By examining these concerns, the psychology of education can offer insights into creating more effective, inclusive, and supportive educational environments. Contemporary Issues in the Psychology of Education examines the core principles and theories of psychology and their applications in educational settings. It provides a comprehensive examination of how psychological factors influence various aspects of education, such as motivation, cognition, social interaction, and classroom management. This book covers topics such as higher education, professional development, and educational policy, and is a useful resource for educators, psychologists, academicians, researchers, and scientists.
