School Development : Focusing on Emotional Factors and General Skills

School development represents a field of educational research and practice in which the quality of schools, i.e. all their input and output factors, should be improved. Recent developments in the field concern ways of standard-based instruction and are mainly focusing on specific cognitive factors like subject matter knowledge, learning strategies, or problem solving skills. However, the purpose of this book is to focus on non-cognitive, i.e. emotional, and on general skills which also influence knowledge acquisition or school achievement and which have been widely ignored by school development programs so far.Astleitner, Hermann is the author of 'School Development : Focusing on Emotional Factors and General Skills', published 2005 under ISBN 9780820473383 and ISBN 0820473383.
