Educational Psychology: A Century of Contributions

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Educational Psychology: A Century of Contributions[1] is a book edited by Barry Zimmerman and Dale Schunk in which each chapter presents a biography of an eminent scholar whose work has had a significant influence on the field of educational psychology. It is one of the few examples of published educational psychology historiography.[2] The book was supported by the Educational Psychology Division of the American Psychological Association (Division 15). A committee of eight educational psychologists (David Berliner, Anita Woolfolk Hoy, Richard Mayer, Wilbert J. McKeachie, Michael Pressley, Richard Snow, Claire Ellen Weinstein, and Joanna Williams) selected the following biographical subjects.
