About the Course

This course sets out to provide an understanding of theories of learning and development and how these theories relate to educational
technology. It has two components. The first is theoretical, in which we attempt to develop an overall frame of reference, locating approaches
to the psychology of learning in terms of large paradigm shifts, from ‘behaviorism’ to ‘brain developmentalism’ to ‘social cognitivism’. The
second component is practical, in which we will use these theoretical concepts to ‘parse’ a technology-mediated learning environment for its
underlying presuppositions. -------------------------------- Recommended Background -------------------------------- This course is desi...

I think it's a great course for people who are interested in Educational Psychology. I recommend it for those who are "beginners" or in other words, who haven't quite studied psychology yet.

Good course, At first, it través for the básica and educational theories which are great, but at week 3 and week 4 lets you know more current issues in the educational field.

I really liked the course because it gave me important fundamentals for my job. I was expecting something different for the last week of work though because it was too technical for one perspective on student development and I would have prefered something more wide open on different perspectives about the topic.

The course is great when it comes to the information provided, however, the peer-graded assessments are ridiculous and should be replaced with AI grading if they don't have better control over grading and retaliation. Many learners submit one sentence and pass, but if you fail them since they didn't meet the criteria, they fail you too, and there is no way to get support and correction of your grade, you have to resubmit and wait for several days again. Another thing is that they submit those reviews anonymously, and refrain from commenting on what is wrong, hence the frustration. I wrote two emails to support but didn't receive a reply, and had to resubmit. I hope people who organized this course will see this comment and apply these suggestions, as these activities are de-motivating and time-wasting. Very disappointed with this part, especially since I took numerous courses on this platform, and many of them had peer reviews, but this is my first time witnessing something like this, even though there is much talk about plagiarism and failing for no reason on the internet.

I found most of the information interesting and applicable. On the other hand, the material was non-sequential and felt disjointed. Each section had little to do with the previous and it seemed more like a collection of lectures rather than a well-rounded certificate program to introduce the learner to the title topic. Also, the format for submitting work was confusing and was (unnecessarily) linked to another site that made it complicated in reviewing work. And speaking of grading, too often there were not enough peers to review work. This require that sections could not be completed when the learner wanted to put in the time to do the work. Expect to return to this course outside of anticipated times or be ok with moving on to other sections without assurance of completion. Case in point: I finished all of my submitted work on a Thursday but did not receive my completed certificate until the next Monday. On the other hand, it is a short course and can be completed quicker than other certiciates I've worked on.

The format of the assignment is really hard to navigate. Also the way questions are formatted they need better structure.

It is too complicated and time consuming. especially the peer reviewed assignments. this course is ok for young students not for academicians. I wish to discontinue the course.

The "Learning Knowledge and Human Development" course on Coursera is a comprehensive MOOC that offers valuable insights into educational psychology. It is divided into well-organized modules, each focusing on specific topics like cognitive development and instructional strategies. The course uses real-world scenarios and case studies to illustrate theoretical frameworks' relevance in educational settings. The Coursera platform provides a user-friendly experience. It has been an enlightening course in all

Wonderful course, it proposes the main theories in phychology to explain how learning happens in the human mind, i like the diversity in the sources, teaching methods, and examples from reality in the curren era from different angles.

The part of bullying was really useful and well structured. Thanks to all the instructors.
