, Foreword
The reader, and particularly the subject specialist, will agree that adolescence
is among the most interesting and challenging phases in human life. Every
aspect of the adolescent's development seems unique; and although for the
purpose of discussion these aspects are dealt with in separate chapters here,
the adolescent must be seen as a totality. Particular attention is paid to the
adolescent's physical, cognitive, affective, social, conative and normative
development. Each of these chapters is concluded with an overview of the
pedagogic implications for the educator.
Apart from the above aspects, which are dealt with from a psychopeda-
gogical perspective, some critical aspects are also considered from a
sociopedagogical perspective. Street children, drugs, sexually transmitted
disease, abortion, unemployment and juvenile delinquency are just some
of the critical phenomena that are subjected to scrutiny. Subject specialists
in the sciences of criminology, social work, sociology and psychology, which
are marginally implicated in the subject matter under review, would be well-
advised to take cognisance of the contents of this book. In line with the
increasing prevalence of interdisciplinary approaches this constitutes a further
opportunity to exchange and utilise information.
Theories and approaches espoused by authorities in the abovementioned
areas of specialisation are considered in the relevant chapters. The follow-
ing are a few examples of the subject matter that is intended to introduce
the reader to the leading researchers in the fields concerned. The approaches
to cognitive development of prominent specialists such as Sternberg and
Feuerstein are discussed. The contributions of Mead, Rogers, Sullivan,
Havighurst and Erikson and others on personality development are consi-
dered, as are the significant contributions of Maslow and Ausubel on moti-
vation. In addition, contributions made by Kohlberg, Peck and Havighurst
on normative development are subjected to appraisal.
The book is written in an easy, flowing style and should be a definite asset
on any bookshelf. The subject specialist will benefit considerably from the
contents.
