Features: The author, David Fontana, is a renowned British educational psychologist. This classic work on human behavior provides a comprehensive and practical guide to teacher psychology. The third edition is based on new findings in teaching research and broader concerns of teachers regarding their responsibilities, with updates on personality and renewal. Psychological evidence shows that to fully understand children's behavior, it is necessary to study related behaviors, such as those involving teachers, parents, and peers. Teacher Psychology focuses on the application of learning theories, teaching control, and moral development, but it also addresses other issues such as family-school relationships, strategies for learning support, individual development, special needs of children, and teacher stress. The third edition also includes new material on sex education counseling. Teacher Psychology meets the course needs of BED, PGCE, and other higher education students, and experienced teachers will find it highly practical.
