Understanding Learners: Psychology, Development, and Classroom Practice

Psikologi Pendidikan

Why do some students participate confidently while others remain silent, anxious, or easily discouraged? Understanding Learners: Psychology, Development, and Classroom Practice examines the factors behind these differences. It explores how identity, motivation, self-efficacy, social relationships, learning anxiety, inclusion, and self-regulation shape students’ experiences in education. Classroom cases show how these ideas appear in everyday teaching, from supporting a hesitant speaker to helping learners manage long-term assignments. Rather than labelling students by their difficulties, the discussion encourages educators to examine the learning environment, recognise possible barriers, and respond with appropriate support. Written in clear and accessible language, this volume connects educational psychology with the practical decisions teachers make in diverse classrooms.
