Call for papers - Educational psychology

Guest Editors:
I-Hua Chen: Qufu Normal University, China
Ehsan Namaziandost: Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences, Iran

Submission Status: Open | Submission Deadline: 28 March 2024

BMC Psychology is calling for submissions to our Collection on Educational Psychology.

Since the period when John Dewey, Jean Piaget, and William James began focusing on cognitive development and progressive education, educational psychology has helped us provide new educational experiences and measure student learning, among other things. It helps students retain interest and motivation while dealing with new information and difficult concepts. Educational psychology is now concerned with dynamic changeable states and situational reflections of the underlying constructs that directly or indirectly influence learning in general and language acquisition in particular.

To commemorate the intellectual heritage and to delve into new, novel issues related to the topic, BMC Psychology decided to launch a collection on Educational Psychology.

New Content Item This collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 4: Quality Education.
