Educational & Developmental Psychology

Educational and developmental psychologists focus on how people develop and learn throughout their lifetime. They work with individuals, families, groups and organizations in a range of settings and have varying roles such as school psychologist, guidance officer, and child and adolescent counsellor. They conduct psychological and educational assessments and instructional planning for exceptional children, adolescents and adults. This book provides authoritative reviews of key areas of research in developmental psychology and demonstrates how these can inform practice in early year’s educational settings.
