By calling into question and reconceptualizing traditional models, this text illuminates an exciting new frontier in educational psychology.
In general the first half of the book focuses on broader questions and principles taken from psychology per se, and the second half focuses on somewhat more practical issues of teaching.
This seventh edition expands on Dynamic Systems Theory, the Information Processing Model and critical thinking around standardised testing.
It spells out the way in which new thinking determines new practice, and the extent to which progress has been made. The book will be of interest to teachers, psychologists as well as to students of pedagogy and psychology.
Unlike other texts, this book of major readings is an anthology of primary-source readings selected for students entering the teaching profession and for teachers interested in examining learning and development.
