Developments in Educational Psychology: How Far Have We Come in Twenty Five Years?

What is the relevance of educational psychology in the twenty-first century? And what have been the most important developments in the field over the past quarter century? In this collection of essays, ten leading psychologists of education reflect on how far we have come in the last twenty-five years. Taking broad and personal approaches, the ten contributors review and critique a variety of topics, providing provocative and challenging insights into the state of educational psychology today, exploring notions of intelligence, communication intervention, effective teaching, family environments, peer learning, individual differences, and teaching and learning in higher education. This book was previously published as a special issue of "Educational Psychology."
