Psychology of Education

It is easy to regard the school as a venue for learning, in the cognitive sense, and to forget that pupils are also learning a great deal about social life, social interactions and friendships, in school time. Indeed school will provide the major source of these experiences for most children, and this volume is devoted to these issues, and to aspects of differences between children (sex, ethnicity) which impact on these. The readings chosen are summarised in the series introduction. Here, we mention specific alternative works, books or book chapters, which can usefully supplement or update the readings chosen here.
