Books by Maurice Galton

Using case studies derived from the ORACLE II project, the authors examine the importance of collaboration in the development of higher mental functions and also the social and emotional advantages that can be derived from group work.

The ORACLE study (Observation and Classroom Learning and Evaluation) which took place from 1975 to 1980, followed by "Son of ORACLE", have had an enormous influence on primary education. This book focuses on the issue of transfer from the primary to the secondary school, using data from ORACLE.
