Abstract:
(Show)
Professor Clark selects the most important current research in the psychology of education and places it in perspective with an introduction to the volume and a short introduction to each piece. Material includes selections on such topics as the culturally deprived, intelligence testing, creativity, emotional growth, ability grouping, the psychology of reading, national assessment, and the class�room climate. Special emphasis is placed on the significance of these issues for teachers in today's schools. The content is intended to cope partially with the information explosion affecting all of the arts and sciences in recent years, a glut that has presented particularly severe problems for the field of education.
