Psychology for Teachers

<p>First published in 1988 <i>Psychology for Teachers </i>offers a new approach to the study of the psychology of education. In contrast to many traditional texts in which measurement is overemphasized and the individual tends to disappear in generalizations this accessible book stresses the importance of both the individual and the process of learning and considers all aspects of schooling from the viewpoint of the person- whether teacher or pupil. Phillida Salmon provides a profile of the learning classroom through detailed case studies and examples. Her thesis will find an immediate response with all those who work in education. <i>Psychology for Teachers </i>offers both to those in training and in the classroom and to those who work with them a new and helpful way of engaging with the challenge of education and invites them to consider from a fresh viewpoint some critical issues in schooling. </p>
