Psychology and Education Summary
| Deals with the theoretical contributions and practical applications of psychology to education. |
|
|
| Educational Psychology is a topic of great interest to many psychology students. In Psychology and Education, Susan Bentham has provided an introductory level text on this subject written in a user-friendly style. The book covers the cognitive, behaviourist and humanistic perspectives on learning, including the works of Piaget, Vygotsky, Bruner and others. The practical applications of these theories are described. The assessment of educational performance is covered and the cultural and developmental factors affecting performance are discussed. Chapters on the special educational needs of the educationally disadvantaged and gifted, and disruptive behaviour in school are included, with sections on ADHD, autism and dyslexia. The book also discusses teaching and learning styles and the design and layout of educational environments. Psychology and Education assumes little or no background knowledge, and includes self-assessment exercises and activities at the end of each chapter. It makes an ideal introduction to the topic for students of A-Level (OCR and EdExcel specifications) psychology and those with an interest in education and learning. |
