Books by Professor Nicholas (University of York McGuinn

This is a textbook introduction to the study of education, with chapters on the core topics on BA Educational Studies courses. Each chapter has three parts: the main exposition by one author; a critique of the exposition by another of the authors; and tasks, questions and further reading.

Using their tried-and-tested English Method training, the authors unpack the core learning issues, such as differentiation and the development of thinking skills, suitable for initial teacher training programmes. They link theory and practice, with direct links to key theorists and ideas about learning.
