- The monograph represents six years of research on the topic, drawing from an exceptionally wide range of primary source material: school logbooks, inspectors’ reports, teaching journals and guides, government reports and archives, psychological and psychoanalytical discourse, archived and new oral histories, and self-narratives. It covers six decades and considers aspects of the history of childhood and education – classroom practice, teachers’ concepts of childhood, the impact of the 'psy' sciences in schools - that have been previously neglected by historians due to the difficulty of accessing what has been called ‘the black box’ of the classroom (Braster et al, 2011).
