The Post-Formal Reader: Cognition and Education

by Joe L. Kincheloe (Editor), Barbara Griffin, Patricia Hinchey (Editor)

This volume argues that while twentieth century educational psychology has made important advances, a time for reassessment has arrived. Recent years have seen the rise of neo-Vygotskian analysis and situated cognition within the discipline of cognitive psychology. The authors of Post-Formal Reade have picked up where these theories leave off to more fully develop the specific connections between the social and the psychological dimensions of learning theory and educational psychology.

Reviews

[Toby Newton · Rating 4 out of 5]

At its best, urgent and compelling reading. At its worst, indulgent masturbatory showboating.
