Master in Psychology
Psychology of Human Learning and Performance (Before: Educational Psychology)
If you wonder about how people can optimally learn and perform, then this master is the right choice for you. You will learn to apply scientific insights to get the best out of each individual.
Learning and performance are essential parts of life. However, most types of learning and performance do not come naturally, but need high-quality instruction. In the Master Psychology of Human Learning and Performance you will discover how people optimally learn and perform, and which mechanisms are involved. These insights are applied to make learning environments as effective as possible for each individual learner (beginner or expert), and to improve our current approaches of training and teaching.
With an interdisciplinary approach, you will answer important questions like:
- How does somebody become an expert in a domain?
- What is the best way to train a child or an adult?
- How can ICT be used to optimize learning and performance?
The Master specialisation Psychology of Human Learning and Performance is also offered in Dutch.
