`At the end of the day, what is crucial is to enable educationalists to promote and apply their own metatheories and models of child development which they feel comfortable with and which enable children to develop. ... Peter Sutherland should be credited with making a significant contribution towards achieving this fundamental goal.' - Educational Psychology in Practice

` ... this book deserves to become a classic in the field. Will appeal alike to academics and students in higher education, and to serving teachers- BPS: Educational Review Section

4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent summary of the aguments of genetic epistemology, 24 Feb 2001
By A Customer
This is an ideal read for relevant education degrees and post graduate research. It gives a detailed account of Jean piaget's theory of genetic epistemology and the arguments against it. It fully explores the weeknesses and inconsistencies in the theory and research. It contains excellent sections on Vygotsky's theory of collaborative learning and Margaret Donaldson's experiments as well as other important psychological research.

2.0 out of 5 stars Vague, 13 May 2007
By T. Dean (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A glance at the contents of this book may lead you to believe you will get a good overall summary of cognitive development. You will not. The book is so brief and vague that it seems the author doesn't have a clear understanding of his topic. Names are dropped, with the work poorly described and then not referenced. The language used is appropriate for the target audience, but sentence structure is appalling. At times needless sentences made me wonder if a word count was being aimed for.

It would have been nice to have a book that gave a clear summary as an introduction to cognitive development. This is a very frustrating read. Even with my mediocre grasp of English, I wanted to reword nearly every paragraph, so the book fulfilled its aims.
