15 Introduction University students are studying many subjects in English. This means that they will be listening to lectures and taking notes in English. Furthermore, they should be able to write scientific texts and examination answers in English. The general aim of this book is to help undergraduate students study their courses in English. They will learn reading comprehension skills that will help them read their textbooks more efficiently. In fact, undergraduate students should be able to learn writing skills that will help them write scientific texts. Through a scientific (academic) study of history, university students will become familiar with the varied experiences of people throughout history as well as with the common patterns of civilizations. University students will learn about the political, social, and economic developments that have created the world as they know it. As university students study the past, they will begin to better understand the challenges of the present and the major issues of the future. This book enables university students to better understand fundamental principles, solve problems, and focus on what they need to know to succeed in studying other university courses. It is written in a way that clearly shows various subjects in psychology, history, and general sciences (biology, chemistry, and physics). So that university students can gain a deeper conceptual understanding of the basic materials of human and scientific areas. 1

17 Chapter 1 Educational Psychology: Behaviour In fact, behaviour covers everything a human or an animal does during its life. Scientists who study behaviour are interested in finding out what affects behaviour. They want to know why an animal or a human behaves in a certain way in a particular situation, for example, the way people behave in groups, how they sit or look at each other, or why they differ in solving the same problems. Behaviour has been divided into three main types. They are: 1. Reflex Actions: Reflex actions are not planned or decided before. For example, if you accidently touch a hot object, you pull your hand away without thinking. 2. Instinctive Behaviours: Instinctive behaviour is the behaviour that is not learned at all. For example, A young bird that has never seen another bird built a nest, does not have to be taught how to build one. 3. Learned Behaviours: Scientifically, behaviour can be changed by learning. For example, many animals learn what is safe and what is not safe by experience. Scientists study behaviour by experiments. They often use statistics to analyse their observations. Study Questions: 1. Scientists claim that psychology studies certain behaviours in humans only. (True / False) 3
18 Dr. Bushra Saadoon Mohammed Alnoori & Mr. Yousuf Taresh Hilal 2. When scientists study behaviour, what do they want to discover? When scientists study behaviour, they want to discover what affects behaviour. 3. Find a word in the text which means discover. find out means discover. 4. What are the three main types of behaviour? The three main types of behaviour are: Reflex Actions, Instinctive Behaviours, and Learned Behaviours. 5. Choose the correct answer: Many animals learn what is safe and what is not safe by experience. (Reflex Behaviour / Instinctive Behaviour / Learned Behaviour) The Aims of Psychology (Psychology is the science of mind and behaviour) As a science, psychology has five central aims: 1. To describe how people and other animal species behave. 2. To understand the causes of these behaviours. 3. To predict how people and other animal species will behave under certain conditions. 4. To influence behaviour through the control of its causes. 5. To apply psychological knowledge in ways that enhance human welfare. In fact, the scope of modern psychology stretches from the borders of medicine and the biological sciences to the social sciences. Because we are biological creatures living in a very complex world, psychologists scientifically study all the factors that affect human behaviours to understand why people and other animal species behave, think, and feel as they do. 4

Meaning of Educational Psychology Different psychologists and scholars have defined educational psychology in different ways: 1. Walter (1935) considers that psychology for teachers should be a branch of social psychology concerned with the study of human beings. 2. Anderson (1949) argues that educational psychology should aim at providing effective information and related principles for the solution of education problems and further development of skills in dealing with children in different situations. 3. Freeman (1953) argues that educational psychology should include topics (issues) such as motivation, personality, development, factors 6
21 An Introduction to EFL Collage students Reading Comprehension Skills ESP in mental growth, and social development, in the context of influencing learning. 4. Caroll (1965) defines educational psychology as the study of school learning in all its aspects. 5. Klausmier (1975) suggests that educational psychology is the science that studies student behaviour in an educational setting. 6. Ausubel (1969) argues that educational psychology is concerned with the nature, conditions, outcomes, and evaluation of school learning. He also argues that the school situation can be considered as a system. 7. Skinner (1968) argues that educational psychology deals with developing concepts, principles, and theories of teaching. He also argues that educational psychology needs to develop a general methodology of teaching based on the understanding of the learning process with application to teaching. Teaching and learning are in this context required to be considered as closely inter-related. 8. Anderson (1967) also stresses on the centrality of teaching and learning in the study of educational psychology. He argues that educational psychology should mainly deal with two questions: 1) What are the effective conditions that can develop student learning? 2) What are the features of instructional materials that facilitate student learning. In fact, educational psychology is aimed at generating knowledge and organising it systematically in the form of information, principles, theories and systems to be applied to teaching and learning. Status of Educational Psychology Susan Isaac (1924) said that there was little knowledge about learning and instruction in educational colleges. Drever (1935) argued that since education is the process of modifying and controlling the behaviour of children, and psychology is the scientific study of behaviour, the teacher must be fully and clearly informed about the facts and principles of human behaviour. 7
22 Dr. Bushra Saadoon Mohammed Alnoori & Mr. Yousuf Taresh Hilal Drever found that teachers did not make analysis of specific behaviours of children. He suggested that psychology should be taught as a discipline in its own right. Study Questions: 1. What does the underlined pronoun He in the second paragraph refer to? The underlined pronoun He in the second paragraph refers to Drever. 2. What did Susan Isaac say about learning and instruction in educational colleges in 1924? Susan Isaac said that there was little knowledge about learning and instruction in educational colleges. 3. According to the text, what is education? According to the text, education is the process of modifying and controlling the behaviour of children. 4. Why did Drever argue that the teacher must be fully and clearly informed about the facts and principles of human behaviour? Drever argued that the teacher must be fully and clearly informed about the facts and principles of human behaviour because education is the process of modifying and controlling the behaviour of children, and psychology is the scientific study of behaviour. 5. Why dis Drever suggest that psychology should be taught as a discipline in its own right? Drever suggested that psychology should be taught as a discipline in its own right because he found that teaches did not make analysis of specific behaviours of children. 6. Find a word in the text which means completely. fully means completely. 8
