About this title

Synopsis:

Since its first appearance, Life in Classrooms has established itself as a classic study of the educational process at its most fundamental level. The book's aim is to encourage researchers to examine more deeply the dynamics of classroom learning, the cornerstone of educational change. Focusing on elementary classrooms, chapters include: The Daily Grind, Students’ Feelings about School, Involvement and Withdrawal in the Classroom, Teachers’ Views, The Need for New Perspectives.

Book Description:

“This book is written for all who are interested in schools and children, but most especially for teachers, administrators, and others whose daily work brings them into direct contact with classroom life. Its aim is neither to damn nor to praise them, not even, necessarily, to change them. Rather, the goal is simply to arouse the reader’s interest and possibly awaken his concern over aspects of school life that seem to be receiving less attention than they deserve.”
