Based on the most up-to-date research, The Quiet Child is an
in-depth study of habiutally quiet or withdrawn pupils during their
transition from primary to secondary school. It establishes the
importance of talk in learning and explores the ways in which quiet
pupils are educationally disadvantaged through their inability or
unwillingness to talk, both to teachers and fellow pupils.
Secondly, it examines the factors, such as diminished sense of
self-worth or a difficulty in forming and sustaining relationships,
which may have contributed to the child's reluctance to participate
in lessons. Finally, the book suggests teaching strategies to
enable teachers to develop their pupils' self-esteem through
fostering positive relationships, thus empowering them to play an
active role in their education. Janet Collins is a Research Fellow
in the Centre for Language and Communication, School of Education,
The Open Universtity. As a primary school teacher, she has had
extensive experience working in mainstream schools with children
with special educational needs.Philip Hills, the Series Editor, is
Head of the Centre for Research into Human Communication and
Learning at the University of Cambridge. He has written extensively
on education, information technology and communication.
