Three key areas of knowledge – educational psychology, pedagogy, and educational sociology – are closely linked to successful early elementary learning. Understanding the child, including their physical, psychological, and social characteristics, is paramount for teachers. This study, employing qualitative research methods through literature review, highlights the importance of pedagogical knowledge for early grade teachers, understanding student characteristics, and identifying key aspects to explore in first-grade students, particularly individual differences.
