History of Psychological Education

Introduction

When time passes we can mention one of the most prominent characters that Plato is (427-347ª.C) For him knowledge is immutable and eternal. His approach on knowledge, rational soul, psychic structure and his influence on the science of human behavior; They have marked psychology and what we now know. So also for Plato the "soul" is the most indispensable and important element. Its value lies in the theory of reminiscence that is based on the fact that the soul recalled the above, which mentions the reincarnation of the same.

In addition, another influence of this story is Aristotle (384 to.C) Plato’s disciple His primordial thinking was based on biology, so for the philosopher the soul is the shape of the body, it is life for what he said that this is responsible for making possible perceptions and feelings. Likewise, he stated that there were three types of soul:

The rational (humans) sensitive (animals) and vegetative soul (plants). The body and soul were considered two entities that allow a function, and from the process of sensations man makes knowledge. So it can be noted that both characters contributed a lot to reach an exact structure of psychology.

Developing

Wihelm Wundt 

It is important to mention that w. Wundt is one of the most relevant characters due to the emergence of experimental psychology and that he is recognized as the father of scientific psychology thanks to his experiments and studies.

He pointed out psychology as "the science of immediate experience" using his main method introspection (self-observation).

SIGMUND FREUD

One of the most prominent scientists of the time because it gave rise to psychoanalysis. His theory called the unconscious where dreams originate, emotional traumas mental gaps, fears and sexual desires. You cannot analyze or observe the unconscious.

In addition, it supports the personality structure based on "this, me and superego". It is the need, desire; The self represents reality, is the intermediate and even at some extent it attaches more to reason and the superego consists of consciousness, the moral that is based on the mind.

GESTALT

This theory focuses on visual perception, Gestalt makes known the structure, forms was a remarkable contribution in learning development, however; The most influential character of this discipline was Wertheirme creating basic laws that govern our perception and are applicable in our daily lives.

One of the first psychological movements was functionalism the characters that influenced this were William James and John Dewey who believe that through teaching a versed learning is obtained, emphasizing the needs of the students. One of his main strategies were mental evidence, questionnaires.

Therefore, behaviorism is a psychological current that is based on the study of human and animal behavior, its main authors are: Pavlov who studied the conditioned reflection, that is, classical conditioning, the author focuses on observable behavior, his transcendental theory I was settled in the stimulus-response and man-animal. 

On the other hand, Thorndike who sustained the theory of the mirror law states that if a behavior has a pleasant result it is more possible that it is frequent, and that if the result is unsatisfactory this probability is reduced, also known as operating conditioning.

conclusion

Finally, thanks to the analysis of the video source it can be deduced that psychology has a long history, focused on different specialties within the field that must be emphasized is very broad and deep with the sole objective of responding to our sensations, concerns and behaviors. And that thanks to the contributions that philosophers and scientists embodied, we have been able to reach the psychology we currently know and that this field is in constant study and knowledge reinforcement.
