""'Educational Psychology' is an elementary textbook intended for students of education and teachers. It is the result of a coöperative undertaking in which twenty-five psychologists and educators from twenty-two different colleges and universities participated. The psychological viewpoint is eclectic. Structuralism, Functionalism, Behaviorism, Purposive and Hormic Psychology, Gestalt Psychology, Organismic Psychology, and still other so-called 'schools' have contributed something to this volume. The collaborators, while reflecting somewhat different points of view and emphases, may be considered on the whole as open minded in their psychological outlook. Both subjective and objective methods are appreciated. There is emphasis on mental and conscious processes and the superior adjustments of the organism which they make possible. The growth aspect and the genetic method are stressed. The organism is viewed as a whole; but while emphasis is on the organism functioning as a whole, there is no objection to a recognition of simple and complex behavior segments or small 'integrated units' that appear secondarily as a result of individuation. In brief, the contributors have 'garnered wherever the pastures were greenest'""--Preface. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved).
