Originally published in 1974, this introductory text has been
designed specifically for teachers in training, and it presents the
basic psychological principles governing learning, perception,
motivation and the retention of knowledge at the time. The text is
carefully tailored for would-be teachers in its clear and informal
style, and in its selective aspects of psychology which the teacher
can use to advantage in his efforts to assist the child. The book
has an eclectic approach to psychological theory, drawing upon the
insights of behaviourism, perceptualism and the Gestalt school, as
well as the developmental theories of Jean Piaget. The author
discusses in some detail theories concerning the nature of
intelligence, and the relationship between creativity and
intelligence; and he investigates the dynamics of social
adjustment, introducing the part that may be played by meditation
in helping to solve some of the problems of emotional stress within
the learning situation. In his consideration of the management of
learning, the author lays much emphasis upon the importance of
individual cognitive styles, individualizing instruction and
independent learning. In one chapter Dr Mueller is concerned with
factors in the measurement of personality and of performance in the
classroom, and he reflects upon the specific problem of objectivity
in such assessment. Finally, some consideration is given to the
problems and characteristics of the socially disadvantaged child
and to the role of the teacher in helping to solve some of the
learning problems of these children.
