L. Bosacki ISBN: 978-1-118-93796-9 | Oct 2017 | 352PP Bridging psychological theory and educational practice, Social Cognition in Middle Childhood and Adolescence is an innovative look at the emotional and social aspects of young people’s development and education, and how these may contribute to their broader well-being and relationships. The book addresses pressing contemporary topics concerning young people both inside and outside of the classroom, including socially withdrawn children, sociocommunicative competence, and peer relations. It introduces the fundamentals of development in middle childhood and adolescence while also discussing practical strategies for those tasked with helping young people develop healthy minds and relationships in the classroom, community, and increasingly globalized world beyond. •• A distinctive new textbook drawing on Theory of Mind to explore the important yet often overlooked territory of social and emotional development into early adolescence •• Moves beyond tradition cognitivist representations of how children learn and grow, focusing on how to integrate the emotional, cognitive, moral, spiritual and social in young people’s experiences •• Bridges the gap between theory and practice — analyses cutting edge research and translates it into culturally sensitive and developmentally appropriate strategies for future educational practice •• Includes unique material on socially withdrawn children, how children’s concepts of silence within the classroom may be linked to self-growth, and young people’s relationships with animals •• Accessibly structured for easy use in courses, with sections on research, future questions, key learning points, and “So What” boxes with implications for the classroom About the Author S.
