About this ebook
The book Investigating School Psychology: Pseudoscience, Fringe Science, and Controversies, edited by Michael I. Axelrod and Stephen Hupp (published by Routledge), exposes the widespread fads, discredited concepts, and practices lacking empirical support in K-12 education. [1, 2, 3]
Main Topics Covered
The text utilizes scientific skepticism to dismantle prevailing myths and offers evidence-based alternatives across several core domains: [1, 2, 3]
  • Discredited Diagnostic & Assessment Techniques: Critical evaluation of standard practices that lack scientific validity, including projective drawing techniques (such as evaluating a child's psychological state based on their drawings) and flawed methods of academic assessment. [1, 2, 3, 4]
  • Systemic Discipline Policies: An investigation into the effectiveness and psychological impact of Zero-Tolerance Policies in schools. [1]
  • Crisis & Safety Interventions: Scientific scrutiny of student safety frameworks, focusing specifically on suicide prevention and intervention practices alongside traditional school safety models. [1]
  • The Demarcation Problem in Education: Providing specific tools for practitioners to address why education is vulnerable to fads and how to rigorously distinguish between science and pseudoscience in daily practice. [1, 2]
  • Evidence-Based Systems: A concluding focus on practical frameworks with robust scientific backing, including academic progress monitoring and behavioral token economies in classroom settings. [1, 2, 3, 4]
