Description
Psychology in the Classroom: A Teacher's Guide to what Works provides a thorough grounding in key principles of psychology and explores how they can be applied to teaching and learning. Drawing on both classic and cutting-edge research, this book offers practical advice on commonly overlooked concepts that contribute to positive academic outcomes. It aims to show the value of psychology in enabling teachers to make informed everyday classroom decisions. The book covers core areas essential for improving learning, including memory and understanding, creativity, motivation, independent learning, resilience, cognition, and self-theories and mindsets. With an emphasis on understanding the theories and evidence behind human behaviour, this guide will allow you to reflect critically on your own classroom practice and make simple but valuable changes. Suitable for both new and experienced teachers across primary, secondary and post-16 education, Psychology in the Classroom offers practical ways to apply psychological principles in the classroom.
