The educational assessment of bilingual children in the Western
world is highly controversial. The editors and authors of this book
are experienced academics and practitioners in this field in the
UK. They have taken the creative ideas of Jim Cummins across the
Atlantic and have applied them through a novel technique of
curriculum related assessment. The book describes the technique in
detail and reports on its use in a wide range of settings. The book
introduces the context and outlines some of the challenges facing
teachers of bilingual children. Five central chapters show how
teachers and psychologists have applied Cummins' framework to the
analysis of classroom support; to specialist support for children
with learning difficulties; to differentiating the curriculum in
English and Science in secondary schools; to work with young
children in primary schools; and to the assessment of children who
have hearing impairment. These accounts demonstrate the flexibility
and promise of the technique and also point out its limitations.
The final section of the book applies Cummins' ideas to the
analysis of language development in bilingual children. In
addition, one chapter describes a new resource for assessing their
language skills in both their languages.
Now in its second edition, this comprehensive textbook presents a
rich overview of approaches to educational psychology, through an
in-depth exploration of both existing and emerging practice
frameworks. Covering established techniques such as the Monsen et
al. Problem-Solving Framework and the Constructionist Model of
Informed and Reasoned Action, the book sets out new material on
innovative methods and approaches such as Implementation Science
and a Problem-Solving - Solution Focussed integrated model for
service delivery. Accessible summaries are accompanied by
perceptive assessments of how these frameworks meet modern needs
for accountable, transparent and effective practice. Providing a
definitive, up-to-date view of educational psychology, the book
explains the complex, integrated methodology necessary to succeed
in the field today. Thoughtful and clear, this textbook will be an
invaluable resource for all practicing educational psychologists,
students, trainers and educators.
