Abstract
In the past 100 years, there have been many changes and innumerable arguments about what educational psychology should be. Still, a common thread for all of us who call ourselves educational psychologists is the belief clearly expressed by Hopkins in the first text to be entitled “Educational Psychology.” That is, we believe that the best teaching can occur only when teachers cogently apply principles of psychology.
It would be as absurd for one to undertake to educate the young with no knowledge of ... psychology, as for one to attempt to produce a sonata while ignorant of the phenomena of sound.
—Louisa Parsons Hopkins, Educational Psychology, 1886, p. 3.
