Psycho-pedagogy: A key factor in learning

Aguascalientes, Ags. February 8, 2023.- Psychopedagogy is a discipline of psychology that trains professionals specialized in preventing, guiding, correcting and evaluating learning problems of a person at any stage of his or her life, as well as having the knowledge, skills and attitudes that make them experts in learning.

Psychopedagogy

Studying a Bachelor's Degree in Psycho-pedagogy at our Panamericanahas wide-ranging benefits for all those applicants and students who wish to prepare themselves professionally in both the psychological and pedagogical fields.

Difference between psychology and psychopedagogy

According to experts, psychology is the science that studies behavior and mental processes in general.

Psychopedagogy, on the other hand, is much more specific and focuses on a very specific area of the human experience: learning and education, both in childhood and in adolescence and adulthood.

Psychologists do not intervene in the teaching and learning processes, whereas a psycho-pedagogist does.
