Publisher's Notes
Discussion of teacher education too often degenerates into a false dichotomy between the claims of theory and practice. In Quality Teaching, Edgar Stones breaks through that sterile debate by focusing on teachers as inquirers who try to solve pedagogical problems and who draw on all the educational, psychological, theoretical, and practical resources at their disposal.

He makes available to teachers and student teachers a whole body of empirically based psychological knowledge on concept learning, problem solving, and the learning of physical skills and shows for the first time how this knowledge
