These issue fall under the purview of Educational Psychology, which is the study of human learning and motivation. It encompasses investigations of cognition and the brain, the influence of affect, goals, and interest on learning; the role of assessment in learning, the psychology of teaching, the effectiveness of instructional interventions, the relationship between cognition and technology, the social psychology of learning organizations, and methods for conducting educational research. It addresses such issues in school contexts, work contexts, and everyday contexts such as the home or museums. The M.A. and Ph.D. program at UNC prepares individuals to become leaders in addressing these issues. Students are trained in the art of reading, writing, and empirically researching such issues through course work and collaboration on research projects with faculty members. Our program is flexible and we help students design a course of study that best suits their needs.
