Abstract:
In this article, the author, after recalling the history of the establishment of the Faculty of Educational Sciences at the University of Tehran and universities across the country, and the integration of the psychology department into the Faculty of Educational Sciences at the University of Tehran (1372), answers the question of whether in naming the new faculty, psychology should be placed after educational sciences or before it. They discuss the relationship between educational sciences and 'psychological sciences', showing that these two categories of sciences differ in terms of nature and scope, and their current connection is subject to social and historical conditions, and is a result of the relationship these two fields of knowledge had with each other in the past and have today in the practical field. They then conclude that psychology, regardless of which faculty it is placed in, is always a science that, while having relatively independent topics and methods, can interact with other humanities and social sciences, but this exchange does not contradict its independence.
Machine summary:
He discusses the relationship between educational sciences and "psychological sciences," showing that these two categories of sciences differ in terms of nature and scope, and their current relationship is subject to social and historical conditions, and is a result of the relationship these two branches of knowledge had in the past and have today in the practical field.
Some, based on the fact that psychology is among the experimental sciences, believe that this field should be transferred to the Faculty of Sciences and placed alongside the departments of this faculty, especially the Department of Biology, and in close connection with it, to train scientific specialists and conduct fundamental research on the “behavior” of humans and animals.
Finally, a fourth group has emerged with the belief that psychology has reached a level of growth and expansion that it can and should be placed in the form of an independent faculty or at least an independent institution, and following its current divisions, it should have numerous educational departments, and apparently this is a belief that has been accepted by the Tehran University Council.
Thus, the relationship between psychology and educational sciences is limited to the psychological aspects of teaching and learning, and these two categories of sciences differ from each other in terms of nature and scope, and they are only related to each other in one respect, and their current relationship is subject to social and historical conditions and is a continuation of the relationship that these two branches of knowledge had in the past, and this background varies depending on universities and other scientific organizations.
