About this Research Topic
This Research Topic is the second volume of the Research Topic "Innovation in Developmental Psychology, Education, Sports, and Arts: Advances in Research on Individuals and Groups" Please see the first volume here.
Due to the expansion of knowledge around us, we are “besieged” by a multitude of data that attracts our attention and pressures us to interact with it, motivating us to receive information, memorize, and form new skills. The social, emotional, intellectual, and psychomotor development of children, adolescents, and adults needs to be taken into account when determining their ability to meet the demands of education or a specific sport or art.
Growth and technological advances in the areas of educational psychology, sport, and art have considerably changed over time, particularly in relation to students’ and athletes’ preparation and performance. In this context, psychology often makes the difference between good and great students (or athletes), between first and last place.
Interpreted by many as a eulogy to physical exercise, Juvenal’s dictum - “Mens sana in corpore sano” - gives equal importance to the cultivation of the spirit, even primacy, according to the cliché. In an increasingly technological world, the concern of children (and parents), adolescents, and adults for their own growth and development is essential not only for their well-being, health, and productivity in the coming decades but also for the thriving of their nations and communities.
Educational psychology and psychological growth through arts and sports are expanding fields. The extent to which these environments foster growth gives them value. Therefore, specialists (teachers, psychologists, social workers, coaches, etc.), working with children, adolescents, or adults, must pay constant attention to progressive development, the ability to learn, change, and adapt. Technology supports these specialists, enabling investigations into implicit associations that assist children, adolescents, and adults in their general life or in specific fields like arts or sports, to perform better than before.
The aim of the Research Topic is to generate relevant information for psychologists, educators, and sport science specialists to facilitate growth and development in children, teenagers, and adults, increasing their performance levels in education and sports.
Accepted article types: Original Research and Systematic Review.
Sub-themes:
• Children, adolescents, and adults’ social, emotional, cognitive, and psychomotor development - new data analysis to increase performance levels;
• Learning strategies and performance improvement in educational psychology, developmental growth through arts and sports;
• Innovative experimental approaches in learning and forming skills in children, teenagers/ adolescents and adults.
