Educational Psychology

by Charles H. Judd

Overview

No influence has more profoundly affected educational thought and practice during the late 19^th and early 20^th centuries than the science of psychology. This volume discusses the major differences between education prior to the influence of educational psychology and then examines the impact this had on the education of children and the experience of teachers.
