Synopsis

This educational psychology text introduces readers to the science of education. This science is a relatively new field, with much of the most groundbreaking work being published within the last century or so. The theories and practices outlined in this volume benefit from this rich history, offering educators a framework for shaping young minds through an understanding of the nature of children, the educational process itself, and scientific methods. Chapters cover the evolution of the mind and body, heredity, instincts, habit formation, memory, attention, and fatigue, among other topics. Filled with illustrative examples, questions, and references for further study, this book is an essential resource for current and prospective educators seeking to ground their work in the vast body of research on how children learn and develop.
