Contents An introduction to a critical history of psychology in education -- The self before and after psychology: the transformation begins -- Educational psychology's role in the education of selves -- Feeling good about your self: self-esteem as an educational goal -- Understand yourself: all about self-concept -- Be confident in what you do: self-efficacy and agency -- Managing your self: self-regulation at school and beyond -- Putting it all together: the triple E student (expressive, enterprising, entitled) -- There is another way: educating communal agents.
Summary This title examines the role that psychology (especially educational psychology) played in the transformation of American and Canadian classrooms and schools into sites for the self-development of students, creating an ideal image of the successful student as self-expressive, enterprising, and entitled to forms of education that recognize and cater to such expressivity and enterprise.
