Fundamentals of Educational Psychology is a comprehensive textbook written by Robert Gilkey Simpson. The book delves into the study of human learning and development in the context of education. It covers a broad range of topics that are essential to understanding the psychological aspects of teaching and learning. The book is divided into three main sections.
