A 360 View of Learning: Educational Psychologists Grapple With the Contemporary Higher Education Landscape

Sat, April 14, 4:05 to 5:35pm, Westin New York at Times Square, Floor: Fourth Floor, Gramercy Room

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

To recognize the 125th anniversary of the American Psychological Association and educational psychology as an academic discipline, the Journal of Educational Psychology recently featured an article, Past as Prologue: Educational Psychology’s Legacy and Progeny. This symposium features a panel of educational psychologists who offer extensions and intersections of ideas proposed within this article. The panel includes educational psychology instructors from a variety of contexts (i.e., Schools of Education, Psychology Departments, Comprehensive and Research Universities) who offer perspectives shaped by their experiences. In such, a “360 view of learning”---the idea that all aspects of our surroundings and experiences impact our learning ---is embraced as the panel grapples with contemporary educational landscapes, offering perspectives from higher education and K-12 classrooms.
