        ADVANCED EDUCATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY

        by MANGAL, S. K.

        This revised and expanded edition is a sequel to the first edition which was warmly received by the student and teaching community for its indepth analysis and refreshing approach to the subject.- Psychology of Individual differences- Transfer of Learning or Training- Emotional Development and Emotional Intelligence- Learning Disabilities and Learning Disabled Children Beginning with an introduction to the nature and scope, and the various schools of psychology, the book dis-cusses the systems propounded by Freud, Adler, Jung and Piaget, taking into account their critical importance to the subject. It then focuses on the psychology of growth and development, psychology of individual differences, motivation, attention and personality, with an emphasis on the individual's attitude towards learning, and the factors influencing learning. The text also elaborates the nature and theories of learning and the aspects of memory such as remembering and forgetting. The cognitive aspect, i.e. intelligence, and vital topics like creativity and the psychology of thinking, reasoning and problem-solving have been accorded due promi-nence. A detailed discussion on exceptional children and learning disabled children together with the educational measures for overcoming such disabilities is also included. The text concludes with an important aspect of human behaviour, namely, adjustment. Interspersed with examples, illustrations and tables, this text is ideally suited for postgraduate students of education and psychology. It can also be profitably used by teachers, teacher-educators, guidance and counselling personnel, and administrators of educational institutions.   Google Preview: https://bit.ly/3AWZhFb

        Self-Reg for a Just Society

        by Stuart Shanker

        For Stuart Shanker, the possibility of a truly just and free society begins with how we see and nurture our children. Shanker is renowned for using cutting-edge neuroscience to help children feel happy and think clearly by better regulating themselves. In his new book, Reframed, Shanker explores self-regulation in wider, social terms. Whereas his two previous books, Calm, Alert, and Learning and Self-Reg, were written for educators and parents, Reframed, the final book in the trilogy, unpacks the unique science and conceptual practices that are the very lifeblood of Self-Reg, making it an accessible read for new Self-Reggers. Reframed is grounded in the three basic principles of Shanker Self-Reg®: - There is no such thing as a bad, lazy, or stupid kid. - All people can learn to self-regulate in ways that promote rather than constrict growth. - There is no such thing as a "fixed outcome": trajectories can always be changed, at any point in the lifespan, if only we have the right knowledge and tools. Only a society that embraces these principles and strives to practice them, argues Shanker, can become a truly just society. The paradigm revolution presented in Reframed not only helps us understand the harrowing time we are living through, but inspires a profound sense of hope for the future. Shanker shows us how to build a compassionate society, one mind at a time.

        Clean Language, Metaphor and the New Psychology of Change

        by Philip Harland

        An essential read for anyone who finds themself counseling, coaching, or working with others.

        DYSLEXIA DISMANTLED

        A practical breakdown of the myths and realities of dyslexia

        by Laughton King

        Finally, an insightful, clear and practical breakdown of the realities of dyslexia, from the author’s own life experience. This exposition of the thinking, learning and living style that characterise the dyslexic individual is written equally for the educator, the parent and the struggling dyslexic himself. Eighteen myths dispelled, 61 personal characteristics outlined, and a raft of indicators examined, this book will help a large section of the population understand their own normality, their own intact and integrated thinking style, and allow them to take positive charge of their learning processes and their functioning in society. There is nothing wrong with their brain wiring, they are not deficient, they do not need medication. As a diesel motor differs from a petrol engine, the so-called ‘dyslexic’ differs from the non-dyslexic in a simple and rudimentary way. The Western world has a modern education system based around language as the prime learning tool – teaching, learning and assessment are typically language-based. The ‘dyslexic’ person is disadvantaged in this system, not only because is he a pictorial thinker, but because of a lesser capacity to use 'internal dialogue', he is unable to process the language-based education system at a competitive level.

        The Mental Health Handbook for Primary School

        Raising awareness of mental health issues and how to deal with them

        by Belinda Heaven

        Educating children and young people about mental health is of vital importance if we are to challenge the ignorance and stigma related to this area of health. Many young people will be living in families where an adult member may have mental health problems or indeed may be facing similar problems themselves. This book provides a comprehensive resource to help teachers deal sensitively with this important area. Part One provides an introduction and background information highlighting the need to tackle Mental Health in primary schools. The facts are startling - 10% of 10-16 year olds have a diagnosed mental health disorder, there is an increasing number of children self-harming and an alarming increase in early eating disorders. This section provides clear guidance on how to use the programme, including working with parents and answering questions children may ask. Part Two details a comprehensive PowerPoint presentation introducing staff to the programme. Part Three provides wide-ranging lesson materials with comprehensive teacher notes and including all the necessary copiable resources for using the programme from years 3 through to 6. Part Four has a Glossary of Terms as well as a valuable Resource Directory to direct the busy teacher to other useful sources of information.

        My Friend Daniel Doesn't Talk

        by Sharon Longo

        'When outgoing Ryan meets Daniel, a boy who is too afraid to talk in school or other places outside of his home, he befriends the silent boy, defending him in school to the other children. Their friendship grows, and Daniel feels comfortable enough to talk to his new friend. Ryan's tendency to 'talk too much' enables him to help Daniel in the classroom, and he hopes for the day when his friend will be able to talk in school so that the other children may get to know the 'real' Daniel. In the meantime, he is willing to continue to be a friend to Daniel until that day.' This beautifully illustrated story book is for children with severe shyness, social anxiety or selective mutism to see that they can make a friend like Ryan. It is also a helpful tool for friends of children like Daniel to understand why these children are unable to talk in certain settings.

        Das freie Spiel: Emmi Pikler und Maria Montessori im Vergleich

        by Födinger, Diana Gabriela

        This book scientifically discusses the concepts of progressive education as developed by Emmi Pikler and Maria Montessori in the area of free play. The goal is to present, compare and evaluate the respective guidelines for an ideal upbringing. The basic question is which details parents and educators have to pay attention to when it comes to free play in order to promote ideal child development, and which benefits such an education can have for the child. Based on a content analysis, the respective concepts for presenting the pedagogical assumptions will be introduced. Furthermore, the parallels and differences between Pikler’s and Montessori’s theories will be discussed, and in those assumptions that differ, scientific studies shall show which approach is more beneficial for the child. For this purpose, several empirical studies will be taken into account and summarized as well as compared in a literature review. This will allow the reader a comprehensive overview over type and procedure of the different studies, making the results easier to interpret. Furthermore, the book contains an overview about the design and organization of playgroups according to Pikler and Montessori, as well as a developmental/psychological contemplation of free play and biographical information about the two progressive educators.

        Waldkindergarten: Ein pädagogisches Konzept mit Zukunft?

        by Del Rosso, Silvana

        Forest kindergartens – an idea from the 60s with the principle “back to nature”. A crazy idea from tree huggers or a valid concept for basic pedagogy? The last years have seen a huge increase in new openings (there are more than 500 forest kindergartens in Germany today), which leads to the conclusion that forest kindergartens apparently do have more valid arguments than ecological education. Nonetheless the concept is still met with some skepticism in our society – especially from politicians. Probably the strongest assumption against the concept is that children did not learn enough and were not prepared well enough for school in forest kindergartens. Especially since the PISA/studies, kindergartens have been under an enormous amount of pressure from media and politics – leading parents to believe that they need to start having their child learn a foreign language at age three and start with preparations for school. Many people have reservations against forest kindergartens in this respect. But how sensible and child/appropriate is this early learning? What does childhood look like today and what do children need? What does the concept of the forest kindergarten have to offer? How do children from forest kindergartens fare in secondary schools? To investigate this, children who visited forest kindergartens and their mothers were interviewed. The book first gives an overview over preschool education, i.e. the developmental psychological as well a social situation of children in Germany and the resulting requirements for early education. Furthermore, the concept of forest kindergartens will be explored theoretically as well as in practice, in order to evaluate whether it is a promising format for early education.

        Raising Your Kids to Be High Achievers

        by Hiroaki Enomoto

        ●Newly graduate employees lacking perseverance to fit in the work environment We often hear difficulties of managing new and young employees who get depressed easily when they are scolded by their bosses and sometimes they don’t even come to work from the next day. Some young employees do not obey the instructions and do not try to make improvements in work. Violence in Japanese elementary schools has been on the rise, which indicates how children communicate with each other is also changing. The early-age education gives certain effects on children such as helping them to enter prestigious schools, but these effects do not last. Furthermore, children nowadays have less opportunities to learn independence and diversity through playing with friends, experiencing the nature and making adventures. From the perspectives of parenting and career development, the book focuses on the competitive skills that young people should acquire to do better in real world.   ●Need of non-cognitive skills, such as self-control. James Heckman, who won the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences in 2000, proved in his over 40 years of studies that early education had the temporal effect on increasing intellectual capacity. However, he concludes that it is not the only factor leading to have good educational background and high-income career. In fact, the early education has lost its effects on building the cognitive skills (intellectual capacity) by the age of eight. Looking at the data after reaching adulthood, however, those who received early education had higher educational degree and annual income. It suggests that acquiring non-cognitive skills such as cooperating with others, having patience and motivation are keys to success after the early education. To develop non-cognitive skills in childhood, parents need to have the attitude to wait for their children to reach a conclusion by themselves, and think together with them. This book is convincing because it discusses parenting based on the latest findings in psychology and pedagogy, while emphasizing on the need of fostering patience, cooperativeness, and independence of children. This is a must-read book for parents who want to find clues on raising their toddlers and elementary school children.

        Educating and Raising Boys

        by Michael C Nagel

        Modern education is failing our boys. Educating and raising boys challenges society’s war on boys and boyishness, and encourages educators and parents to expand their understanding of the male brain to better support the boys in their lives. Author Michael C Nagel draws on his knowledge as a researcher in child development, behaviour and educational psychology, and his experience as an academic and a father, to explore the ways that teachers and parents can create positive social learning environments that recognise the complexities of the developing brain and promote learning. By examining the behaviour of boys from a neuroscientific standpoint and how the hardwiring in their brain influences the way they learn, Nagel challenges readers to reassess how we currently engage with boys physically, academically, emotionally and spiritually. Rather than expect boys to change, readers will learn how to best adapt their own behaviour to ensure they allow boys to flourish.   Educating and raising boys is an invaluable resource for any educator or parent who wishes to enhance the lives of the boys they teach and raise.

        Educating and Raising Girls

        by Michael C Nagel

        Growing up isn’t easy, especially if you’re a girl. We often assume that girls are doing just fine, but the truth is that many are struggling to keep up and make themselves heard. Educating and raising girls offers a detailed look at the challenges that girls face at school and at home, exploring how their intricate neurology can complicate the way they experience the world. Author Michael C Nagel pairs his expertise as a researcher in child development, behaviour and educational psychology with his experience as a father to help teachers and parents recognise the complexities of developing brains and foster positive learning environments in which girls will thrive. First providing an essential foundation in how the female brain develops – from conception to early childhood, through adolescence and beyond – Nagel shines a scientific spotlight on the central role that girls’ changing neural architecture plays in their social, emotional and educational development, and explains how these insights can help readers make a real difference in the lives of girls.   Educating and raising girls is a practical guide to the neurological realities of growing up female, for educators and parents who wish to better understand and support the girls who depend on them.
