Description
A study of how children learn, and the processes of successful teaching, this book encourages teachers to reflect on their own thinking as well as on children's learning, and offers ways in which ideas drawn from psychology can realistically be employed by busy teachers. The first chapter discusses the limitations of behavioural competencies, and the following two chapters look at children's thinking, learning and development. The remaining chapters consider the importance of attitudes and the social context of the classroom, and offer an overall view of successful teaching and learning.
