Introduction

Every individual has the right that his physical, social and emotional needs should be satisfied in society as well as in class room environment. The desire to be accepted and protected in childhood is natural. He or she needs help for adjustment. This is his/her right that s/he should be provided with an environment in which his/her natural capabilities flourish so that s/he may become useful member of the society.

Through education individuals' behaviors are shaped. In formal or conventional mode of education, teacher plays a pivotal role in this regard. Moreover, it is again overwhelming at primary and secondary school levels. It is, therefore, necessary that a teacher should know his or her pupils thoroughly as to their abilities, limitations, motives, aspirations, needs and physical development patterns, so that teaching can be made interesting and effective. Teacher should be able to know all such things through the study of educational psychology. It is a fact that without such background a teacher cannot modify the cognitive and effective behaviour patterns of his/her pupils. Such knowledge can contribute to the promotion of learning process and developing students' personalities positively by understanding about individual behaviour.
