Review # 1 was written on 2010-05-28 00:00:00 Pierce Dugan A very useful collection of empirical research articles on the thesis that play=learning. Informed by developmental psychology and social-constructivist approaches to learning it is both scholarly and accessible. A must read for new and practising teachers faced with the pressure to ditch play in the name of standards and accountability. As government in the US and UK go further down the formal teaching route this book reminds us that humans are naturally and spontaneously playful and that failure to provide opportunity for play in formal education is detrimental for individuals and society. A clarion call that must he heeded. The book is also of interest to all parents and those working with parents in a range of circumstances including poor socio-economic contexts and those who are learning disabled to show how play can support their needs. Parents interested in the role of play in their children's lives and how they can support them will also find this book accessible.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-09-15 00:00:00 Bob Blum Harkitsin neljää tähteä mutta totesin sitten, että enpä tästä juurikaan huomautettavaa keksi. Franzoin kirja on loistava yleiskatsaus sosiaalipsykologiaan. Se on mielenkiintoinen, helppolukuinen ja hyvin rakennettu - siis sellainen kuin oppikirjan kuuluu ollakin. Välissä saa testata itseään tai tutkia värikkäitä graafeja. Marginaaleista löytyy sanaselityksiä, lainauksia/sananlaskuja sekä kysymyksiä, joita voi pohtia. Sekä keksityt esimerkit että referoidut tutkimukset tuntuivat jäävän hyvin mieleen.
