Peer Groups and Children’s Development considers the experiences of school-aged children with their peer groups and its implications for their social, personal and intellectual development
  • Focuses on the peer group experiences of children attending school in Western societies, from five years of age through to adolescence
  • Considers peer groups in classrooms, friendships made within and outside of school, and the groups that children participate in for extra-curricular activities
  • Includes a final summary which brings together the significant implications for theory, policy and practice
  • Unique in that no other volume reviews and integrates literature relating to peer groups in both classroom and out-of-class settings
  • Addresses the research interests of psychologists and educationalists, as well as the practical concerns of teachers, parents, counsellors, and policy makers

Arvustused

"Both undergraduate and graduate students and researchers in education, child psychology, developmental psychology, and social psychology would find the book, or particular chapters, useful as they explore the nature of peer groups in educational settings. Researchers in psychology will become better aware of the many facets of school and classroom life that should be considered when studying children in the classroom context". (PsycCritiques, 8 December 2010)

"The experiences of schoolchildren with their peer groups and the implications for social, personal and intellectual development are considered here, as Howe reviews and integrates literature relating to classroom and out-of-class settings. The text is intended to address psychologists' and educationalists' research concerns, as well as the practical concerns of teachers, parents, counsellors and policymakers."
