Abstract
The application of educational psychology in educational practices aims at enhancing the process of education through integrating psychological concepts with the teaching environment. Such a stance holds the practical relevance of improving the quality of instruction and learning as essential and timely. When these elements are understood, educational strategies can be designed to take into account these different learning profiles and hence enhance the chances of the learning achievement for overall students’ ability and for the presence of Inclusive Education. These research themes are important as they serve as a guideline in an effort to determine the nature of students’ learning, the conditions that prompt these changes in learning, and how technology can be incorporated into the learning process. Altogether, in pursuance of the present paper, a literature review and search have been performed, and the focus is on offering realistic recommendations for educators. The study provides a theoretical and empirical foundation for educational practice to help teachers to carry out conclusive teaching strategies. Therefore, sustaining and building this scholarship bridges theory and practice toward achieving progressive educational strategies that are supportive for all students and enhance the overall quality of education. Based on the findings, this study can provide useful recommendations for a range of issues, including the strategies for creating individual learning profiles for learners, the possible ways for dealing with the learning styles, and the guidelines for employing technologies to enhance learning. Furthermore, the paper also underlines the need to effectively update teachers’ professional experience and knowledge in the sphere of educational psychology.
