Educational psychology is the branch of psychology that studies the processes of human learning and development, and how they relate to the design and implementation of educational programmes. It involves a wide range of activities, including:

-Understanding the learning process

-Developing effective teaching strategies

- Designing and implementing educational programmes

- Evaluating educational programmes

- Providing support for students

In the teaching work of colleges and universities, students' learning motivation is an important factor affecting their learning achievements and academic development. Therefore it is of great significance to understand the current situation of students' learning motivation for improving education and
teaching in colleges and universities.

However, in the teaching of higher education, the application of educational psychology is not limited to stimulating students' learning motivation and alleviating their learning anxiety. It also involves other teaching problems.
Learning style refers to students' preferred ways and methods in the learning process, such as visual, auditory and hands-on type. Teachers can improve the teaching effect by understanding students' learning styles and adopting
corresponding teaching strategies.
