International Handbook of Psychology in Education

The International Handbook Of Psychology in Education Provides researchers, Practitioners and advisers working in the fields of psychology and education with an overview of cutting-edge research across a broad spectrum of work within the domain of psychology in education. As well as covering the latest thinking within established areas of enquiry, the Handbook includes chapters on recently emerging, yet important, topics within the field and explicitly considers the inter-relationship between theory and practice. A Strong unifying theme is the book's emphasis on Processes of teaching and learning and the work discussed focuses on typically developing school-age children, although issues relating to specific learning difficulties are also addressed.

Accounts of current research are organised within this title under five main themes: Early Biological and Cultural Influences on Young Children's Development, Learning and Educational Attainment; Interaction, Relationships and Learning; Cultures, Creativity and Technologies; Individual Differences and Children's Experience of Education; and Knowledge, Assessment and Achievement. The chapters are authored by internationally recognised researchers, from across Europe, North America and the Pacific Rim.

This Handbook provides a single volume reference resource for researchers, post-graduate students, and advanced undergraduates in education and psychology. Given its theme, it will also be of interest to educational Psychologists, educational policy makers and practitioners.
