Advanced Educational Psychology (Paperback)  | Released: 2006

During the course of teaching educational psychology to graduate and postgraduate students, the authors felt the need for a suitable textbook on this subject which may cover the syllabi of Indian Universities and maintain a balanced outlook. The books written by Western authors are set in Western environment and hardly cater to the needs of Indian students. An attempt has been made to provide a model textbook excluding all unnecessary elaborations and including whatever is required to maintain a good standard. The language of the book is simple and lucid. The book provides all valuable aspects of advanced educational psychology and will be of great use for students, teachers, educational planners and common readers. Table of Contents: 1.
