Psychology for modern education

This book is focused on the proposition that the essential reality of education is the shaping of personality. The mechanisms by which human personality is shaped and molded are those of learning, transfer, and growth. The influence of individual traits and abilities are germane to the discussion, along with motivation and the dynamic aspects of learning. To succeed, students and teachers need, above everything else, an intelligent point of view brought into practical application upon their work. This will allow them to achieve a clear understanding of the nature of education, and how this understanding bears upon what ought to be done in the classroom and school.
