Piaget’s, Vygotsky’s, and Kohlberg’s theories: resemblances, differences, and interrelations : A critical review

Psychology is derived from the Greek word. ‘Psyche’ means ‘soul’ and ‘Logos’ means ‘Science’. The first derived meaning of psychology was Science of Soul. Psychology is the study of human behaviours which includes human personality traits, mind, relationship, ethics and moral values, which is hugely impacted by lots of factors, such as family traits, upbringing, social environment, spirituality, childhood experiences, education, and career. Going into a deeper level of human behaviours, a person’s state of mind or behaviour is also impacted by three types of human mind, which are subconscious, conscious, and the unconscious mind which is again controlled by all the factors that were listed above. Psychology consists of a large area of study, but the area that will be covered in this paper would be educational psychology.
