Introduction to the Subject (Summary) The subject Educational Psychology has a permanent place within the system of pedagogical and psychological disciplines. It fulfils an integrating role within the context of one’s studies. It contains standard themes: psychology of learning (theories of learning, types and styles of learning, learning conditions and transfer, psychological aspects of assessing the process of learning), psychology of family upbringing, and psychology of ethics. Subject Objectives The objective of teaching this subject is to equip the students with internally interconnected knowledge of educational psychology (including the mastering of the basic terminology) in connection with previously acquired and to-be- acquired knowledge of the pedagogical and psychological disciplines. In terms of skills, the subject graduate will be able to apply the acquired knowledge to him/herself (identification of one’s own style of studying, competence in self- evaluation of one’s own pedagogical performance, etc.) and will also be able to apply the acquired knowledge to the educational process, both in routine educational activities (diagnostics of the personality of the learners, their leadership primarily in institutions outside of teaching, support in looking for the optimal style of learning of one’s clients) and in non-standard educational situations (equipping them with skills to cope with stressful and conflict situations).
