Educational Psychology Cases for Teacher Decision-Making

Case material is presented mainly in dialogue format, and cases are left open-ended in order to provoke discussion, analysis, and decision making. Each case begins with a listing of psychological theories and sets of principles for analyzing and resolving the case, provides other relevant material such as students records and tests, and concludes with discussion questions. An appendix tells how to use cases in the classroom, and the contents briefly summarizes each case. For use in educational psychology courses. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
