The book has a focused scope and dwells upon the real-time application of psychological principles within educational contexts that can help rethink teaching practices and further the well-being of students. The book pivots around the overarching idea that applied psychology is profoundly interred with effective pedagogy and student well-being, particularly in the Indian educational set-up.
Chapter development of the book systematically reveals the mechanisms through which applied psychology serves as a bridge between the pedagogical mechanics of teaching and the holistic well-being of students. The theoretical description moves further by the roles of psychology in teaching and learning, the contributions of psychology in adapting classroom practices and finally by understanding teacher and student psychology to create a conducive educational atmosphere.
One of the focus sites is student well-being, seen at individual, social, and emotional levels. This book talks about the importance of ensuring well-being through teachers, institutions, and psychological support among their students. Further, the book emphasizes the psychological well-being of teachers as the most crucial nexus for effective pedagogy- the aim set is therefore to ensure sustainable means in practice.
The idealization of the Indian perspective has grounded all our work, for rudimentary insight of actual Indian classrooms, pedagogical processes, and the societal predicament have called for appropriate amplification of psychological levers. This book exemplifies psychological well-being as something to be fostered through an alliance for better pedagogy, nurturing institutional well-being, and positive educational experiences for students.
The intention of this book is to fulfill the void of a worthy academic material for teacher trainees, educators, students of educational psychology or related fields, and professional in education who are looking for a structured and practical insight into psychology, helping them see how psychology transforms teaching and learning with student well-being in mind.
