Handbook of Educational Psychology

Reviews / Votes

"As societies change, and they do so with increasing rapidity, scholarship in the social and behavioral sciences needs also to reconsider its history, methods, and purposes. This edition of the Handbook does just that. It is contemporary in that it not only honors the knowledge we have created through updated literature reviews in the various sub-areas of our field, but also deals forthrightly with the many social problems that also must be addressed by our scholarship. I am delighted to watch educational psychology evolve in such productive and socially responsible ways."

-David C. Berliner, Regents' Professor Emeritus at Arizona State University, USA, and co-editor of the first edition of the Handbook of Educational Psychology (1996)

"Like its predecessors, the fourth edition of the Handbook of Educational Psychology will prove a useful resource for course content and research. This volume goes well beyond a handy summary of the state of the art of the field. With its greater diversity of contributors and topics, this edition illustrates how the field is moving towards a more inclusive and progressive view of the role psychology plays in advancing teaching, learning, and education."
