The book looks at the formal peer groups that children are placed in for teaching and learning, covering such topics as the class size debate, mixed-ability vs. ability-based teaching, gender and classroom dialogue, and dialogic teaching and cooperative learning. Howe also provides an in-depth examination of the nature, causes, and consequences of a child's informal peer relationships, including those associated with cliques, friendships, and adolescent gangs. Evidence presented throughout reveals how formal and informal aspects of peer groups interrelate to a great extent in determining patterns of development. This has significant implications for research and theory, as well as for the practical concerns of parents, teachers, counselors, school psychologists, and policy makers. Informed by the latest research and scholarship, Peer Groups and Children's Development offers revelatory insights into the effects of peer relationships on a child's intellectual, personal and social development. 410 0$aUnderstanding children's worlds. 606 $aChild development 606 $aInterpersonal relations in children 606 $aFriendship in children 606 $aAge groups 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aChild development. 615 0$aInterpersonal relations in children. 615 0$aFriendship in children. 615 0$aAge groups. 676 $a305.231 686 $a5,3$2ssgn 686 $aCQ 6000$2rvk 686 $aCQ 6400$2rvk 700 $aHowe$b Christine$0888110 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910139505303321 996 $aPeer groups and children's development$92288626 997 $aUNINA
