About Us

The mission of聽Department of Educational and Counselling Psychology (ECP) is the advancement of scientific knowledge through research in education and psychology and the application of this knowledge to the development of progressive practices and policies locally, nationally and internationally. ECP programs and research examine the interplay between complex human systems (cognitive, social, emotional, behavioural and biological) to maximize: (a) learning, (b) wellness (mental and physical), and (c) human development in multiple settings and throughout the lifespan. More specifically, with both typical and atypical populations in mind, they examine issues pertaining to assessment and intervention, cognitive processes and developmental neuroscience, and the design and evaluation of learning environments and instructional practices. While ECP鈥檚 primary disciplinary bases are psychology and education, it contributes to and is enriched by extended interdisciplinary collaborations with, among others, medicine and other health professions, neurosciences, computer science, science, social work and policy, and law.聽ECP addresses cognition and development in typical and atypical populations across the lifespan. Broadly speaking researchers examine issues pertaining to assessment and intervention, cognitive processes and developmental neuroscience, and the design and evaluation of learning environments and instructional practices.
