Educational Psychology (EDP)

EDP 1350. Effective Learning.

This course studies (a) theory and research in the psychology of human learning and motivation and (b) the individualized application of strategies to support effective and efficient learning and goal striving in college and beyond. Theoretical models of strategic and self-regulated learning that emphasize the dynamic interplay among cognitive, metacognitive, motivational, affective, behavioral, environmental, and developmental factors serve as the conceptual basis for the introduction to college-level academic strategies. These theoretical models can guide students' approaches to learning.
