Produktbeschreibung

Now in its third edition, Educational Psychology offers a comprehensive overview of how key advances in social, developmental and cognitive psychology impact upon the role of educational psychologists working today. Written by leading researchers, the book also explores controversies and dilemmas in both research and practice, providing students with a balanced and cutting-edge introduction to both the field and the profession.

Fully revised throughout, and with a new chapter exploring how educational psychologists work with schools to support children and young people's mental health, this third edition aims to encourage students to integrate their understanding of core psychological disciplines, as well as to consider what 'evidence-informed practice' really means. Organised into two broad sections related to learning and to social, emotional and mental health, the book features a selection of vignettes from educational psychologists working in a range of contexts, as well as tasks and scenarios to support a problem-orientated approach to study.

By integrating both research and everyday practice, the book is unique in engaging a critical appreciation of both the possibilities and limitations of educational psychology. lt is the ideal book for any student wishing to engage with this important and evolving field of study.
