Description:How should teachers group students? How should they arrange their classrooms? How many - or how few - students should there be in a class? How are students influenced by their peers and by their parents? What is emotional intelligence? What are the characteristics of self-regulating students? Psychological research has much to tell teachers about these and other practical issues. Too often, however, the research findings are presented piecemeal through inaccessible, jargon-ridden, sources. This book, on the other hand, presents information in exactly the form that teachers need it, telling them what they need to know: - before teaching a class - whilst teaching a class - after teaching a class Teachers and students will find this the most helpful and practical guide to educational psychology available.
