Role of Interactive Digital Simulations in Enhancing Instructional Delivery in Educational Psychology Among Undergraduates of Federal University of Education, Zaria Kaduna State Nigeria

Abstract

This paper aimed at exploring the “Role of Interactive Digital Simulations in Enhancing Instructional Delivery in Educational Psychology.” The paper also delved into the foundational principles and current instructional challenges within Educational Psychology. A technological approach integrating interactive simulations transforms traditional pedagogy by providing dynamic, experiential, and student-centered methods of instruction. These simulations prove highly effective in teaching Educational Psychology as they allow students to experiment with and observe psychological principles in action. Interactive digital simulations have the capability to be an efficient and beneficial pedagogical method. They can replace conventional, abstract instruction where students are passive recipients with hands-on, scenario-based learning. This allows students to apply theories, observe outcomes, and discuss results with peers and teachers, hence promoting active, experiential, and collaborative learning.
