Psychological Aspects of Learning and Teaching

by Kevin Wheldall (Editor), Richard Riding (Editor)

Overview

Educational psychology has much to offer teachers and trainee teachers which can be of help to them in their work. In this book, originally published in 1983, leading experts look at a number of important topics in educational psychology. The chapters present detailed overviews of these key issues, survey recent research findings and advances in the subject at the time, and discuss innovative techniques and approaches which are particularly relevant for classroom practice.

This book, much needed at the time, will still be extremely useful to mature teachers and to all students of educational psychology.
