This new edition of the European adaptation of Anita Woolfolk's market-leading US text
Educational Psychology is essential reading for anyone studying or interested in education and
learning from a psychology perspective. The second edition includes new work in the areas of
Assessment for Learning and Attachment Theory as well as reflecting recent changes in Special
Educational Needs provision. The text shows how information and ideas drawn from cutting-edge
research in educational psychology can be applied to solve the everyday problems of teaching
and child development. 'This wide-ranging and theoretically grounded text is set to become a
classic in the psychology of education.' Alec Webster Emeritus Professor of Educational
Psychology University of Bristol 'This is an exceptionally strong book that explains the
psychology in education in a clear and vivid way. I also appreciated the European approach of
the book... I would certainly recommend educators to use this book.' Sofie Loyens Assistant
Professor at the Department of Psychology Erasmus University Rotterdam The Netherlands
