Educational psychology explores how people learn, stay motivated, and grow across a wide range of formal and informal educational settings. With a discipline that covers such varied contexts for teaching and learning, The Oxford Handbook of Educational Psychology, serves as a much-needed overview of the field. Core chapters will discuss social and cognitive development, theories of learning, instructional approaches, collaborative learning, assessment, student motivation, teaching of a specific subject, and research methods. This book is an essential resource for those working both in and out of schools and will set the research agenda for years to come.
The Oxford Handbook of Educational Psychology is part of the Oxford Library of Psychology, designed to be an authoritative resource by leading scholars. Its self-contained chapters analyze and interpret a wide range of research and historical and methodological issues.
