Description: This volume endeavors to present a consistent organization of the data of educational psychology. There are certain topics with an experimental background, such as learning, ability, and heredity, and certain conceptual tools or practical devices, such as correlation and testing. The attempt to systematize experimental data and the formulation of the principles of organization are what, in a distinctive manner, make the treatment of the facts psychology. The text endeavors to apply to the psychology of education and development certain basic concepts which have evolved from many converging trends in biological and psychological thought. This book presents a general introduction to teaching method and classroom management.
