Hick (inclusive education, Manchester Metropolitan U., UK) et al. assemble 13 chapters by educational psychologists and scholars from the UK, US, and South Africa on how psychological theories of learning and human development relate to inclusive education, what psychological aspects of inclusive practice are, and how they can be used to promote it. Taking a broad view of inclusion that addresses all aspects of diversity, they examine Vyogotsky's theories, the processes of teaching and learning, emotional aspects, cooperative learning, dynamic assessment, and other topics, including an example of implementation in South African schools.
