Psychology in the Classroom: George Kelly, Lev Vygotsky
In this video, I look at how constructivist psychology can help us teach children more effectively, with a focus on the ideas of George Kelly and Lev Vygotsky. Both psychologists have provided valuable insights into how we can help children reach their full potential in our classes. Their insights combined with those of other constructivists, such as Piaget, can form the basis of a highly effective approach to teaching children.
I have been training teachers of children for about forty years and I am making these videos as a legacy project. I hope you will find them helpful.
This is the final video in a series of four videos on psychology in the classroom. The next series of videos will be on child-centered sm and the second one was on psychological myths that teachers of children often believe.
THANK YOU
I would like to give a big thank you to Adam Kardos for doing the voiceover.
