Abstract
This paper discusses the major educational psychology concerns for both elementary education and adult education such as intelligence, expectations, attitude, goals, motivation and stress. The paper states that educational psychology is a very valuable tool in any classroom, and specifically in the adult classroom. The author believes that educational psychology should be developed differently when considering adults because adult students have different needs than children.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"Stress is part of daily life for every person on the planet. This is also true in the classroom for teachers and students alike. Stress may be experienced in either a positive or negative way, and has a profound effect on performance and attitude. Teachers may experience negative stress for example when students appear unresponsive to teaching strategies, and/or fail to live up to expectation. This stress may then communicate itself to the students and degenerate into a cycle where the students perform poorly because that is what is expected of them. Furthermore, students, especially in the adult classroom, may experience stress because of pressure from the workplace to perform better, while having to spend extra time on their studies."

Abstract
This paper presents a critical review on the learning theories of educational psychologists, Ivan Pavlov and B.F.Skinner. Educational psychologists create achievement tests, develop learning aids and curricula, study cognitive development, and investigate psychological issues in the classroom, including adjustment problems and teacher-pupil interaction.

Abstract
This paper presents a detailed look at problem solving in the field of educational psychology. The author peeks at some of the problems that are unique to psychologists in the field of education and then takes us through some suggestions about problem solving that needs to be done. With laws in place to protect the learning disabled and the recent rash of violence in school systems across the nation educational psychologists have their hands full and the author of this paper explores their work.

Abstract
This paper explains that, because psychology is both an applied science and an academic field studying human behavior, it has become one of the most diverse sciences. Of the 54 listed sub-disciplines, all of which focus on human behavior, the author reviews the specialized fields of environmental psychology, industrial/organizational psychology and educational psychology that also can be combined. The paper concludes by the author describing the sub-disciples of psychology that he uses at this job as a correctional counselor at a military facility.

From the Paper
"The branch of Industrial and Organizational psychology takes workplace issues both at the individual and at the company level and researches to improve wellbeing and performance of employees and organizations. From planning to actual workplace and employee selection, this branch of psychology takes themes from the broad field of psychology and applies them to the business world. Another example would be educational psychology. Again major themes from the field of psychology are used in an educational environment to discover the cognitive abilities of students. According to Educational Psychology (2011), "Educational psychology is the study of the social, ethical, and cognitive development of students as they progress from children to adult learners. Educational psychologists develop and apply theories of teaching, learning, and human development to determine the most effective ways for educators to teach students. In developing curricula, educational psychologists look at topics such as instructional methods, individual differences in learning, and behavioral and cognitive theories of education. Educational psychologists research ideas like the multiple intelligence theory, appropriate learning goals, and what motivates students to learn. They then use this type of research to build better instructional curricula in an effort to improve the quality of education. All three of these sub-disciplines of psychology have their basis in the major underlying themes of the field of psychology as a whole."

Abstract
Educational Leadership historically depended upon Educational Psychology for assessing the individual's personality traits in determining "who" would make a good school leader. The problem with personality and trait-based measurements, however, emerged in the difference between pencil-and-paper test performances, and interactive social behaviors, which often contradicted each other. As the ideas of school culture emerged with the introduction of Anthropology's understanding of "culture," school leadership was re-conceptualized towards a cultural and social-based understanding of inter-active participants with values and interests that required inclusivity in the school's community. As personality was regarded less and less relevant to educational leadership, sociality and communicative skills were regarded as more valuable, as were abilities in negotiation, compassion and patience. This has produced a multi-dimensional approach to educational leadership, where all levels of school activity, including the school's relation with its community, are included in understanding what it required of an educational leader.

Abstract
This paper relates that the study of educational psychology, which explores how people learn and the development of materials and techniques that improve learning, is an essential element in the training of teachers. The knowledge of psychology is important to the teaching profession itself, the author argues, because individuals become teachers not for their own material gain but because they want to benefit their students. The paper concludes that the responsibility of the teacher is to act as an advocate for the student; therefore, the knowledge of psychology plays an important role in helping the teacher accomplish this extraordinary task.

From the Paper
"The goal of teaching is to help students learn abstract concepts and apply them to their own lives in a realistic fashion. This means that teachers are often engaged in active teaching with students, such as giving lectures or presentations. The Bureau of Labor Statistics calls these teachers "facilitators or coaches, using classroom presentations or individual instruction to help students learn and apply concepts." As a teacher, then, one is not just a lecturer, but a tutor, a mentor, a parent, and an instructor--all rolled into one. Each day, the teacher is tasked with planning lessons that will help students learn."

Abstract
This paper examines how a bias in regards to cognitive psychology as it is applied in the educational forum has evolved and continues to influence the way learning is presented in the classroom. In particular, the study focuses on a study by Charles Bailey that contends that society is being dumbed down, which inhibits and discourages learning and critical thinking. The paper further defines cognitive bias according to Bailey's model, which the paper views as a sound approach to educational problems. The works of other educational psychologists are listed and analyzed in the paper as well. Despite the negative aspects of cognitive bias in the classroom, the paper also cites its benefits, such as it can potentially assist children in their social skills and behavior problems, provide a more entrepreneurial community, and prevent errors in judgments based on empirical evidence. The paper concludes by stating that that there will always be a cognitive bias in educational settings, but if it is addressed then the inherent problems will be minimized.

From the Paper
"Bailey's study seems to link the dumbing down of society with the cognitive evolution that allows us to recognize the fact that we are subject to such a process in the first place. If this is true, then the educational system implementing cognitive psychological aspects are, in fact, only hurrying the process. Bailey espouses a solution to the problem by providing 'cognitive accuracy'. According to Bailey, cognitive accuracy provides a yardstick for "accurate and rational thought and behavior" (Bailey, pg. 280). This paper asserts that perhaps the very act of attempting to accurately access a cognitive accuracy provides additional motivation (especially in the classroom) to dismiss attempts to learning unless it is defined by cognitive psychology."

Abstract
This paper examines behaviorism and the roles of educational and clinical psychology in association with behaviorism.

From the Paper
" Psychology, in all of its branches, has its roots in theories that originated with Sigmund Freud. His work with the theories behind psychoanalysis opened the gates for other theorists, some of whom agreed with Freud and expanded on his work. Other theorists diverged from Freud's work, removing the psyche almost entirely from their own work. These theorists studied the field of behaviorism. Some notable behaviorists were John B. Watson, Edward L. Thorndike, and Burrhus Frederick (B.F.) Skinner. "

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that Jean Piaget is best known for his work in the area of developmental psychology. The writer looks at Piaget's theories regarding the developmental stages of human beings. The writer discusses that each of these stages was intended to explain the cognitive and behavioral development of individuals and have been used consistently throughout the educational realm as a method of understanding how children basically learn.

From the Paper
"Piaget believed that all people have the ability of assimilation, or the capacity to translate certain actions into previously learned schemas. When assimilation is not possible for the individual then the person learns to adapt and create new processes, known as adaptation. These concepts Piaget transferred into the developmental stages of human beings. The stages include the sensorimotor stage, the preoperational stage, the concrete operations stage and the formal operations stage. Each of these stages was intended to explain the cognitive ..."
