Educational Psychology and Technology: Definition and Degrees

What is Educational Psychology and Technology?

Educational Psychology and Technology focuses on applying technologies to enhance learning based on principles of psychological science and learning theories. The programs emphasize integrating technology to improve teaching and learning outcomes, conducting rapid evaluations of the efficacy of emerging learning technologies, and designing effective learning and training environments.

Educational Psychology and Technology at The Chicago School

The online Ed.D. Educational Psychology and Technology program is designed to educate you to become a practitioner who is able to apply educational and psychological theories, conduct evidence-based research, and employ the use of technology to enhance learning outcomes. Unlike Ph.D. programs, which prepare students to do research to advance knowledge, Ed.D. programs focus on completing research to improve professional practice, bridging the gap between research and practice.
