Psychology

Psychology is an extremely important branch of knowledge that can potentially assist us in almost every single thing we do. Be it trying to acquire khushoo in salah, parenting our children, trying to change bad habits, overcoming addictions, learning to focus, avoiding distractions, studying effectively, loving, teaching and what not.

Over the years, psychology has been divided and classified into many branches and each one of them, in my eyes, has a very high level of signficance. One of its prominent branch is educational psychology which involves the study of how people learn, including topics such as student outcomes, the instructional process, individual differences in learning, gifted learners and learning disabilities. Having understanding of these factors and ability to implement effective strategies to aid learners' understanding is one of the most desired qualities from a teacher - more so, a teacher in an Islamic Institution.
