Educational Psychology in Social Context: Ecosystemic applications in southern Africa 6e
Authors: D Donald, J Hardman, S Lazarus and N Moolla
Educational Psychology in Social Context: Ecosystemic applications in southern Africa is a tried-and-tested textbook which applies educational psychology – and, specifi cally, a unifying ecosystemic framework – to aid teachers and other educators to enhance the learning experience of students in a developing society.
Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory is used as a guiding framework for understanding child development and the environmental barriers to learning children face and for developing practical guidelines on, for example, how to accommodate diff erent learning needs and styles in an inclusive classroom setting.
In this sixth edition, the book is relevant to both undergraduate and post-graduate study in either pre-service or in-service teacher education. It can be used for courses in educational psychology in programmes such as BEd, BEd (Hons) and PGCE, and also as a handbook for teachers in the fi eld.
Key Features: • Additional diagrams, local quotations and glossary items alongside the text which explain specialist and complex terms and concepts
• Specially designed questions which encourage readers to apply theoretical perspectives and principles of intervention in their own social context
• Activities which encourage practical application, and analysis and consolidation of concepts • Practical tasks that can be set as individual or group assignments • A learner-centred approach which challenges readers to refl ect and construct their own understandings
New to this edition: • Updated references throughout the book as well as updated case examples • New chapter on the neuroscience of education and schooling, which covers the basics of brain development and neuroplasticity
• New content on discipline, cyberbullying and an African perspective on the fi eld of psychology “… integral to teacher preparation and transformational teacher practice … ” Prof L Theron, North-West University
