A must-read for anyone working within education or intellectual development, Educating the Developing Mind introduces and integrates classical and modern research with the theory of the developing mind, creating a robust theory of learning and instruction. Drawing on the theories of Piaget, Bruner, and Vygotsky, coupled with 40 years of empirical research, this book highlights the importance of individual and social construction in learning and proposes a robust framework and methodology for teaching and strengthening learner cognitive processes.

Filled with subject-specific research, this essential book highlights how cognitive development takes place and advocates a guided constructive approach to teaching. Topics explored span from the individual learner to the wider educational community, including but not limited to:

Development of the mind Personality and individuality The brain Predicting school performance Measuring and improving intelligence Problem-solving skills Language

This is an essential read for anyone working within education who wants to better understand the cognitive processes involved in the developing mind and to improve learning and instruction within their school, college, or university.

Denken zählt zu den zentralen Fähigkeiten des Menschen. Es ermöglicht uns, den Alltag zu bewältigen, Probleme zu lösen und Entscheidungen zu treffen. Vom ersten symbolischen Erkennen im Säuglingsalter bis zur Bewältigung komplexer Herausforderungen im Erwachsenenalter entwickelt sich das Denken stetig weiter. Dieses Buch bietet einen fundierten Einblick in die Entwicklung und Funktionsweise zentraler Denkprozesse. Es zeigt, wie Schlussfolgerungen entstehen, wie Erinnerungen und Intelligenz unser Handeln prägen und wie sich diese Fähigkeiten im Laufe des Lebens verändern. Auf Basis aktueller Erkenntnisse aus Entwicklungs- und Kognitionspsychologie werden wissenschaftliche Hintergründe mit praxisnahen Beispielen und Wissensfragen verknüpft, wodurch das komplexe Thema Denken verständlich und anschaulich vermittelt wird. Wissensfragen am Ende jedes Kapitels zur Überprüfung des bereits Gelernten runden das Buch ab.
