The Research Methodology module is a cornerstone of the Master 1 curriculum. It serves as an essential bridge between undergraduate theoretical learning and advanced scholarly or professional inquiry. The primary goal of this course is to equip students with the conceptual tools, practical skills, and ethical frameworks required to design, execute, and evaluate rigorous academic research.

This course provides an introduction to educational psychology and its relevance to teaching and learning. It explores major theories of learning, including behaviorism, cognitivism, constructivism, and social learning, and examines their implications for educational practice. It also addresses key psychological processes involved in learning, such as cognitive development, language acquisition, motivation, memory, attention, and information processing. In addition, the course considers individual learner differences and their influence on learning outcomes. Finally, it focuses on the practical application of educational psychology to classroom management, discipline, and the development of effective teaching strategies that respond to learners’ needs and promote meaningful learning.
