Description
Summary:Reviews the book, Behavioral Science Frontiers in Education edited by Eli M. Bower and William G. Hollister (1967). The purpose of this book as described by authors as follows: to spell out in concrete terms the most fruitful understandings and the most productive practices that the behavioral sciences and education have to contribute toward the goal of helping each day's school experience make a significant contribution to children's growth and behavior. The greatest contribution of this book lies in reinvigorating the dialogue between behavioral scientists and educators--particularly students who will be entering the educational field and on whom the hope of tomorrow's education rests. Let us hope that this challenging and productive dialogue can be maintained. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
