ABSTRACT

This book was designed to bring together a range of fields within educational psychology, thus making them accessible to academics, graduate students and teachers (especially those returning to graduate study) within one volume. It is anticipated that this book will make a major contribution to the field of educational psychology since the reader can locate recent research and understandings in several theoretical areas rather than having to read through a large number of separate volumes on each topic. This is rare at the graduate level and above and so this volume will be welcomed by researchers, students and teachers alike.
