Summary:

Bridging psychological theory and educational practice, Social Cognition in Middle Childhood and Adolescence is an innovative, cutting-edge look at the emotional and social aspects of young people's development and education and how these may contribute to their broader well-being and relationships. Sandra Bosacki challenges the dominant cognitivist view of development, and instead draws on Theory of Mind to investigate how young people's ability to understand or make meaning of human thoughts and feelings directly affects their sense of self and relationships in the classroom and beyond. The book addresses pressing contemporary topics concerning young people both inside and outside of the classroom, including socially withdrawn children, socio-communicative competence, and peer relations. It is accessibly structure for easy use in courses, with sections on research, future questions, and key learning points, and "So What" sections with implications for practice. Filled with the latest research, this distinctive textbook introduces the fundamentals of development in middle childhood and adolescence while also discussing practical strategies for those tasked with helping young people develop healthy minis and relationship in the classroom, community, and increasingly globalized world beyond.
