Jerome Bruner is indisputably a major thinker in education. David Olson's volume offers the most coherent account of Bruner's educational thought. This work is divided into-
Intellectual biography,
Critical exposition of Bruner's work,
The reception and influence of Bruner's work,
The relevance of the work today and Excerpts from an interview with Jerome Bruner.

Industry Reviews

Olson's book on the work of Jerome Bruner is a deeply informed and incisively written gem... Olson - one of Bruner's many influential students - makes sense of his work in a way that ties it to developments in psychology and education from the 1960's to the present. Olson relates Bruner's work to that of John Dewey, and to his own views, which place more emphasis on schools as independent institutions. The result is a highly readable and informed account of developments in educational psychology and their relation to educational practice.
