Educational Psychology

Research Spotlights

One of the key roles for educational psychology is the use of research to support and challenge ideas within learning and teaching. It also provides us with an opportunity to reflect on evidence based approaches in partnership with others to promote and maintain positive changes within education overall.

Our Spotlights are added to throughout the year and are here for anyone to download as PDFs in order that this research is more accessible.
