About this course

Understanding Educational Psychology for your Newlane 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

Educational Psychology (Psychology 120) is a 3-credit course with 25% Attendance, 25% Quizzes, 25% Assignments, and 25% Final Exam, so students can see how progress is measured from the start. It is designed to build understanding of learning, motivation, memory, and development through the course work, and the completed transcript is what Newlane University reviews for transfer. At Newlane, that transcript credit is recognized as Social & Behavioral Sciences GE, which satisfies a general-education requirement.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course content is useful in settings where you need to understand how people learn, respond to feedback, and develop over time, which can help in school, training, and other people-focused work. At Newlane, this credit can sit inside degree plans such as the Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts or the Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy as Social & Behavioral Sciences GE. That makes it a practical choice if you want one course to support both subject knowledge and a general-education slot.

Skills you walk away with

Explain memory systems and retrieval in learningApply classical and operant conditioning conceptsUse reinforcement and behavior management strategiesCompare Piaget’s and Vygotsky’s theories of developmentIdentify factors that shape motivation and self-efficacyRecognize individual differences, intelligence, and learning needsConnect assessment and research methods to classroom situations

Taking this course toward Newlane

After the course is completed, the transcript is sent to Newlane University for review. Newlane’s registrar applies the transfer as Social & Behavioral Sciences GE, which places the course into the general-education portion of the degree plan rather than a major-specific area. That recognition can help students move forward in programs such as the Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts or the Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy while staying within Newlane’s transfer ceiling of 90 credits. Because Newlane is competency-based and allows up to 75% of degree credit from transfer, this course may be one piece of a larger transfer strategy.

Who this course is for

This course is a good fit for students who want a transfer course that Newlane already accepts as Social & Behavioral Sciences GE and who are planning around Newlane’s transfer rules, including the limit of up to 90 credits or 75% of the degree. It can work well for students finishing a degree path at Newlane, or for those building a low-cost transfer plan with Newlane’s $39-per-credit context in mind. It is not the best choice if you need a course that will count as a major-specific requirement rather than a general-education equivalency.
