This book is a Hindi medium (हिन्दी माध्यम) title by Dr. Surendra Bhaskar, published by the Rajasthan Hindi Granth Academy under the Ministry of Education, Government of India. It covers Bal Vikas evam Shiksha Manovigyan (बाल विकास एवं शिक्षा मनोविज्ञान) — child development and educational psychology.
The publisher is the reason to buy this rather than a coaching book. Rajasthan Hindi Granth Academy titles are the standard academic texts in Hindi for these subjects, and questions in REET, Third Grade, Second Grade and First Grade papers on child development and educational psychology are drawn from exactly this kind of source. Coaching notes are compiled at second and third hand from books like this one; every step away from the original introduces small errors in definitions, theorist attributions and stage descriptions — and those are precisely the details the examination tests. Candidates who find their answers disputed against the official key are usually working from a derived source rather than the original.
The subject matter is the full academic treatment: the meaning and principles of child development, the stages of development and their characteristics, the theories of Piaget, Vygotsky, Kohlberg, Erikson and Freud, learning and its theories including behaviourism and cognitive approaches, motivation, memory and forgetting, intelligence and its theories and measurement, personality and its assessment, individual differences, adjustment, and the psychology of exceptional children. Because it is an academic text rather than an examination guide, the treatment is complete and the definitions are precise — which makes it the right book to read the subject from, with a question bank used alongside for practice. The whole book is written in Hindi in the Devanagari script.

राजस्थान हिन्दी ग्रन्थ अकादमी (शिक्षा मंत्रालय, भारत सरकार) द्वारा प्रकाशित डॉ. सुरेन्द्र भास्कर की 'बाल विकास एवं शिक्षा मनोविज्ञान' इस विषय की मानक अकादमिक पाठ्यपुस्तक है। इसे कोचिंग पुस्तकों के स्थान पर लेने का कारण इसका प्रकाशक ही है — राजस्थान हिन्दी ग्रन्थ अकादमी की पुस्तकें हिन्दी माध्यम में इन विषयों के मानक ग्रंथ मानी जाती हैं, और REET, तृतीय श्रेणी, द्वितीय श्रेणी एवं प्रथम श्रेणी की परीक्षाओं में बाल विकास एवं शिक्षा मनोविज्ञान के प्रश्न प्रायः इन्हीं स्रोतों से बनते हैं। कोचिंग नोट्स इन्हीं पुस्तकों से दूसरे-तीसरे हाथ में तैयार होते हैं और प्रत्येक चरण पर परिभाषाओं, सिद्धांतकारों के नामों तथा अवस्थाओं के विवरण में छोटी-छोटी त्रुटियाँ जुड़ती जाती हैं — जबकि परीक्षा इन्हीं सूक्ष्म विवरणों को पूछती है। इसमें बाल विकास का अर्थ, सिद्धांत एवं अवस्थाएँ, पियाजे, वाइगोत्स्की, कोहलबर्ग, एरिक्सन एवं फ्रायड के सिद्धांत, अधिगम एवं उसके सिद्धांत, अभिप्रेरणा, स्मृति एवं विस्मरण, बुद्धि एवं उसका मापन, व्यक्तित्व, वैयक्तिक भिन्नताएँ, समायोजन तथा विशिष्ट बालकों का मनोविज्ञान सम्मिलित हैं। ध्यान दें: यह पुस्तक पूर्णतः हिन्दी भाषा एवं देवनागरी लिपि में है।
