Description:

Our Educational Psychology Master's program leads to the Master of Arts (MA) or a Master of Education (MEd) degree. It blends studies of theories, empirical research, and research methodologies that lead to broad knowledge of the field of educational psychology and its relevance to education. Courses offered will vary slightly from year to year, and may include the following topics: social development, learning and motivation, developmental disorders (e.g., Autism Spectrum Disorder), learning disorders, systems and paradigms in educational psychology, sociocultural perspectives on the psychology of development and education, and academic and social behaviour assessment in education (level-b testing). Courses are offered every term in the late afternoon/evening. Both the MA and MEd programs meet TQS requirements for category upgrade.
