Summary

"Teachers at all levels of education are expected to foster productive thought, although this is not as effective as it might be when they ignore emotion and moods and their effect on learning. Combining the most up to date theory with practical advice, this key textbook delves into the question of the interaction of emotion, moods and thought, and its implications for learning, to show how you might manage that interaction to improve your own teaching. Building on a comprehensive framework of productive thought, Douglas P. Newton explores the interrelationships between each of its constituent elements - reasoning, understanding, critical thinking, creativity and wise decision making - and the emotions"-- Provided by publisher.
