About this course

Understanding Educational Psychology for your Gracelyn credit.

What is Educational Psychology?

Educational Psychology is the study of how people learn and how teaching, motivation, memory, and development affect that process. It looks at what happens in the mind and behavior of learners, and how educators can use that knowledge to support learning in schools and other settings.

How the course teaches you

The course is self-paced and online, with video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam. Your grade is weighted equally across attendance, quizzes, assignments, and the final exam (25% each). Once you complete the course with at least a C-, the transcript credit is what Gracelyn matches to PSYC 2301 – General Psychology or PSYC 2314 – Lifespan Growth & Development, depending on your pathway.

How it helps beyond the classroom

Educational Psychology gives you a working understanding of how people learn, how memory and motivation affect performance, and how to adjust instruction for different learners. These skills carry over into classrooms, training settings, and any role where you guide someone else's learning. At Gracelyn, the credit fits within the Associate of Science in Transformational Education (ATED) or the Bachelor of Science in Transformational Education (BTED), so the material supports a degree path you are already working toward.
