A Textbook Of Educational Psychology

While representing essentially a study of educational growth, this book is designed to help the teacher obtain a knowledge of principles, programmes, methods, techniques and tools, enabling him to play an effective role in the moulding of his young students. Section references to important conclusions arrived at by studies and experimental investigations have been included - the main purpose being to give the prospective teacher an insight into those principles and ideas on which effective teaching must be based. Divided into six main sections (the process of development, the process of learning, the learner, the psychology of teaching, measurement and evaluation), the treatment of each section and topic in the book is self-contained. The section on the psychology of teaching adds a new dimension to the book.
