Thinking with Feeling: Fostering productive thought in the classroom

By Douglas P Newton (Routledge, £22.99)

This book seeks to address the fundamental question of whether emotions are good or bad for learning. The author explores what we mean by productive thought, its interrelationship with mood and emotions, how teachers can manage that interaction to improve teaching and learning, and what teacher trainers could do about it.

Illustrated with examples from practice, this challenging study offers education professionals a basis for understanding the interaction of emotions and cognition.
