| Summary: | "The present volume remains close to educational topics, after presenting in an untraditional way, in Part I, such general psychological principles as seem specifically to underlie the processes of teaching and learning. It would be an advantage if educational psychology could cease to be an assemblage of miscellaneous and unrelated topics, so that prospective teachers might come to view their work in at least as unified and systematic a way as the facts justify. The present text is written in the conviction that the human mind is really coherent; that the principles of learning and teaching are actually simple and capable of intelligible generalization, on the basis of observed facts. It is believed that the main principles of cue reduction, scope or control, motivation, and individual differences reviewed in Part I are the fundamental ones for the teacher to know. The application of these principles to all aspects of education ought to assist in bringing the work of teaching and learning from a rule-of-thumb level to a plane inviting artistry and encouraging scientific analysis"--Preface.
