By Michael Vincent O'Shea

Book Overview

Social Development and Education is a comprehensive book written by M.V. O'Shea, which explores the relationship between social development and education. The book delves into the various theories of social development, including those of Piaget, Vygotsky, and Erikson, and examines how these theories can be applied in educational settings. The book covers a wide range of topics related to social development and education, including the role of play in social development, the importance of social interaction in learning, and the impact of culture on social development. It also explores the ways in which schools can promote social development, including through the use of cooperative learning strategies and the development of social skills.Throughout the book, O'Shea emphasizes the importance of understanding the complex relationship between social development and education, and provides practical strategies for educators to support the social development of their students. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it an ideal resource for students, educators, and anyone interested in the intersection of social development and education.1909. In Part I of this volume, O'Shea attempts to describe the typical attitudes which the child tends to assume toward the persons with whom he comes into contact in the ordinary situations of daily life, and to explain these attitudes in view of certain fundamental principles of mental development. To this end the author has presented the results of observations of children's reactions under a variety of social conditions, the aim being to detect if possible the natural or impulsive tendencies in their responses. In Part II, O'Shea undertakes certain phases of the difficult and interminable task of outlining a plan and method of education designed to make the individual socially efficient.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
