On the Forefront of Educational Psychology in Bloomington, MN

In introducing a dozen chapters contributed by colleagues in Western Australia, Waugh (education, Edith Cowan U., Perth) explains how Rausch models and computer programs for its application have greatly advanced the measurement of variables in educational psychology. Half of the papers apply Rausch models to study such factors as self-regulated learning, assessment of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, the link between classroom environment and educational outcomes, and teacher leadership. Schooling levels treated range from early childhood to university. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
