Concise Encyclopaedia of Education

The Concise Encyclopedia of Education is a comprehensive resource for those working in the fields of education research and practice. Featuring articles on assessment and teaching approaches, overviews of learning processes, dozens of biographies, and more, this complete desk reference is an indispensable guide for professionals, academics, and students alike. Written and edited by highly regarded and respected experts in the fields of education, this authoritative resource guide provides a reference base for educators as well as professionals. The object kept in view by the writers of this work has been to make it useful to all who take an interest in educational questions and especially to those engaged in the work of teaching, whether in Elementary, Secondary, or the Higher Schools. It has been the aim of the contributors to give a telescopic rather than a microscopic view of the educational facts and questions discussed, and to bring their purely pedagogic features into clear outline. The favorable reception which the first edition of this work has met with has necessitated the preparation of the present’s edition, which embodies the results of a careful revision.
