This book is the only one to date which takes up epistemological issues concerning classroom research and pursues them in relation to design and methodological matters with depth and balance. It deals with all of the perennial issues that have divided scholars in the field and contributes more to achieving points of reconciliation than has previously been available. This is not yet another substantive review of the findings of classroom research. It makes no attempt to portray the current state of knowledge of such topics as teacher praise, student initiations, teacher interactive decision making, student deviance, homework, student engagement, and the like. This is more a book about classroom research for those who want to learn how to teach by digesting the products of research, and it does not justify its existence in the deficiencies of the past. Indeed, it sees strengths and shortcomings in many different approaches. This book gives students tremendous potential to capitalise on the experience and accumulated wisdom of decades of scholars so as to emerge from it with high levels of understanding and knowledge of the field. It also contains historical material which provides an excellent record of developments over time and gives many fully descriptive examples of earlier achievements.

Education & Teaching

Schools & Teaching

The affective realm is a critical, but often forgotten, aspect of schooling. The development of character and the formation of appropriate learning environments rely to a large extent on understanding the affective nature of students. Even when the focus is on cognitive achievement, affect has a role to play. Teachers frequently mention a lack of motivation as a primary reason for students not achieving as well as they should or as well as their teachers would like.   Despite the importance of affect, educators rarely make an effort to systematically collect and use information about students' affective characteristics to better understand students and to substantially improve the quality of education they receive. This book's purpose is to provide educators with the knowledge and skills they need to design and select instruments that can be used to gather information about students' affective characteristics. Once valid and reliable information has been gathered, it can be used to aid in understanding and to improve educational quality.   The second edition features:  * an updated list of affective characteristics (i.e., attitudes, values, interests, self-esteem, self-efficacy, locus of control)  * a dual emphasis on selecting and designing affective assessment instruments * an emphasis on multi-scale instruments (i.e., a single instrument with multiple affective scales)  * the use of a single small data set to illustrate and foster understanding of key concepts and procedures * a dual emphasis on data about individual students and groups of students * a dual focus on the instrumental value of affective data and the inherent value of affective data (i.e., affect is valuable in and of itself)
