G Is for Genes: The Impact of Genetics on Education and Achievement Hardcover - 2013 - 1st Edition
by Kathryn Asbury; Robert Plomin
From the rear cover
In this world of astonishing progress in molecular biology, genome screening is no longer in the realm of science fiction--some believe it may soon become the norm. Yet while most are aware of the powerful role that genetics plays in the learning and development of children, the dialogue between geneticists and educationalists has been sorely lacking. G is for Genes bridges the divide to show how this overdue debate can, in fact, lead to beneficial results in the education of all children--and may also benefit schools, teachers, and society at large.
Utilizing an engaging writing style that breaks down complex science for a wide audience, the authors draw on a wealth of behavioural genetic research to show that genetic influence is not the same as genetic determinism and how, in many instances, genes are expressed differently in different environments. The authors also present their vision of what the genetically sensitive school of the near future might look like, along with a series of policy recommendations to facilitate a consideration of genetic influence on learning in the context of schools and classrooms. Of vital interest to parents, educators, and policy makers alike, G is for Genes offers invaluable insights into one of most important pieces of the intricate puzzle that makes up a child's life.
