Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Now in its eighth edition, this text has been a landmark in its field for thirty years. It provides a totally up-to-date introduction to psychology for all teachers.

Thoroughly revised, this edition includes new coverage of gender and cultural diversity, behavioural problems, social development and the learning environment, and is more user-friendly than ever before with a new text design, including chapter outlines for easy dipping in and out, and with more emphasis on the concerns of the teacher and practical applications of theory.

Professor Child covers all areas of education, from child development to motivation, human difference, special needs education, assessment and classroom management.

Psychology and the Teacher is specifically designed to meet the requirements of student teachers, as well as those of experienced teachers and educationalists who need to renew their aquaintance with psychology.
