The history of educational psychology can be traced back in the period where philosophers of education already existed like Democritus, Plato, and Aristotle. Because psychology developed in the late 1800s, educational psychology in effect had already begun without much awareness of it. That is, it was already practiced way before it became a formal discipline.
After the time of these philosophers, a Spanish humanist named Juan Vives emphasized the value of educational practices as well as other educators that came after him, making all their ideas and works consistent with the present educational psychology. Not only did educational psychology spread in Europe but also in America where it was very much linked to psychology.
The beginning of educational psychology in America was much credited to the effort of William James whose student G.Stanley Hall established the American Psychological Association. Likewise, the works of Hall was quite influential in education that was then introduced to normal schools later. After that, a student of Hall named John Dewey also founded the Laboratory School at the University of Chicago in the mid 1800s and is now known as the father of the Progressive education movement.
