'Girls are worse than boys these days' was a common complaint from
teachers in the 1970s. Whether true or not, this viewpoint was
pervasive, yet little guidance had been given to the student
teachers to help them tackle the problems that girls presented.
Originally published in 1980, the main purpose of this work was to
provide a soundly based textbook on the education of adolescent
girls which, by taking into account the changing role of women in
our society at the time, would be of immediate use to all
practitioners and students of education. Research findings, and
material drawn from recent work by teachers in schools, have been
collated along with theoretical approaches selected for their
relevance to teaching in a manner which demonstrates their
practical implications. The difficulties that teachers found in
coping with the normal, as well as the abnormal, behaviour of girls
is examined. The importance of education for girls is looked at in
the context of their future roles as members of the work force and
as mothers of the next generation. Reports and complaints about the
inadequacies of the education system in preparing girls for their
future life were rife. In dealing with a topic which was causing
such concern the author set out to fill a noticeable gap in the
literature of Education at the time. The book was designed for use
by student teachers, lecturers, probationary teachers and their
supervisors, but social workers, educational psychologists and
others who deal with adolescents would also find it useful. For
students its value rested in the practical orientation of its
information which gave it the dual function of handbook and
academic textbook. For practising teachers it gave advice,
encouragement and support.
