Produktbeschreibung
Children spend more time in school than in any social institution outside the home. And schools probably exert more influence on children's development and life chances than any environment beyond the home and neighborhood. In spite of this, there has never been a comprehensive handbook that attempted to assemble the widely dispersed body of research on the developmental effects of schools and schooling. That is the mission of this book. Topical coverage ranges from historical/theoretical foundations to investigative methodologies and from classroom-level influences such as teacher-student relations to broad, impersonal influences such as school and societal organizational patterns and educational policy. By bringing together critical findings from this loosely-coupled, cross-disciplinary field of study, this 31-chapter book provides a much-needed centerpiece around which the field can continue to grow in an organized and interdisciplinary manner.
The purpose of this book is to document some important ways schools influence children's development and to describe various models and methods for studying schooling effects.
