Recenzje

'… The collaborative spirit of the book is demonstrated through an integrative approach, as the editors deftly point out connecting themes and responses to these questions across the contributed articles. Drawing from diverse research traditions in contemporary psychology, the volume foregrounds, among other aspects of learning and teaching, the differences between questions as posed by the teacher and by children. The collection concludes with a summary of areas expected to be fruitful for further psychological research.' T. R. Glander, Choice
