By reviewing existing literature and conducting empirical research through surveys and interviews with students and educators, this study evaluates the effectiveness of current programs. The paper also discusses the role of educational psychologists in facilitating student development and highlights the shift from traditional pedagogical methods to more interactive, student-centered approaches.
