Description: This book is designed for use as a basic text in courses in educational psychology, development, and learning, or as it is often entitled, psychological foundations of education. Instructors who wish to acquaint their students with a systematic development of cognitive-field psychology will find the book useful. A cognitive-field oriented psychologist uses field to mean the total psychological world in which a person lives at a given time. It includes psychological past, present, and future, also certain concrete or imaginative levels of psychological reality, all interpreted as simultaneous aspects of current situation. The authors feel that cognitive-field psychology has more to offer teachers than any other psychological framework, in that its systematized outlook provides more effective directives for classroom teachers than any other.
