In Search of Pedagogy I & II
The Selected Works of Jerome S. Bruner, 1957-1978 & 1979-2006
Jerome Bruner is one of the best-known and most influential psychologists of the twentieth century. His theories about cognitive development dominate psychology around the world today, but it is in the field of education that his influence has been especially felt.
In this two volume set, Bruner has selected and assembled his most important writings about education. Volume one spans the twenty years from 1957 to 1978 and volume two takes us from 1979 to 2006.
Volume one starts with a specially written introduction by Bruner, in which he gives us an overview of the 1957-1978 years and contextualises his selection of papers. The articles and chapters then reveal the thinking, the concepts and the empirical research of that time that have made Bruner one of the most respected and cited educational authorities of the time.
The ultimate guide to Jerome Bruner’s most important and influential work, it is ideal for students and academics who want to be able to follow the development of his thinking over his seventy-year career.
