Evolutionary Perspectives on Child Development and Education (Evolutionary Psychology)

Evolutionary Perspectives on Child Development and Education (Evolutionary Psychology)

Daniel B. Berch
3.5/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
This stimulating volume assembles leading scholars to address issues
in children’s cognitive, academic, and social development through the lens of
evolutionary psychology.Debates and controversies in the field highlight the
potential value of this understanding, from basic early learning skills through
emerging social relationships in adolescence, with implications for academic
outcomes, curriculum development, and education policy.Children’s evolved
tendency toward play and exploration fuels an extended discussion on child-
versus adult-directed learning, evolutionary bases are examined for young
learners’ moral development, and contemporary theories of learning and memory
are viewed from an  evolutionary perspective.Along
the way, contributors’ recommendations illustrate real-world uses of evolution-based
learning interventions during key developmental years.


Among the topics covered: 
The adaptive value of cognitive immaturity:
applications of evolutionary developmental psychology to early education               

Guided
play: a solution to the play versus learning dichotomy

Adolescent bullying in schools: an
evolutionary perspective                 

Fairness:
what it isn’t, what it is, and what it might be for

Adapting
evolution education to a warming climate of teaching and learning
The effects of an evolution-informed school environment
on student performance and wellbeing
 
















































Evolutionary Perspectives on Child Development and
Education will interest researchers and
graduate students working in diverse areas such as evolutionary psychology,
cultural anthropology, human ecology, developmental psychology, and educational
psychology. Researchers in applied developmental science and early education
will also find it useful.
