Significance of educational
psychology for teachers and others:
1. Catering to individual differeces:
No two persons are exactly alike. There is individual difference. Pupils always
differ in their level of intelligence, aptitudes, likes and dislikes and in
other propensites and potentialities. Different minds are to be trained by the
teacher. There are gifted, backward, retarde, talented and handicapped
children. All of them should not be treated in the same manner. The knowledge
of educational psychology helps the teacher to cater to individual differences
of children.
