Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The principles and scientific evidence coming from psychology have been a very important support in the improvement of teaching and learning processes in the educational environment. The teaching–learning processes are also closely related to factors of human development such as cognition, emotion, motivation, and behavioral and social factors. In this regard, the psychological sciences have contributed to the educational sciences by indicating fundamental principles of the different psychological branches that could lead to better educational instruction, a better climate in the classroom to encourage and promote learning, effective ways of processing information from an evaluation, as well as research methods applied to different educational practices. As an example of this close relationship, the American Psychological Association (2015) published a document presenting 20 contrasting principles from the psychological sciences that every teacher should know in order to improve their practices. Thus, this Special Issue is aimed at providing an opportunity to highlight how the principles and basis of psychology are related to the improvement of teaching practice. For this reason, we invite empirical and theoretical contributions on this relationship.
