Cognitive Development and Learning in Instructional Contexts, 3/e
By James Byrnes The text is organized into three main sections: (1)
General principles of learning, memory, intelligence, problem
solving, and motivation that apply to any school-related skill.
Unlike typical books on cognitive development, these general
principles are explicitly translated to classroom practice. (2)
Specific developmental trends in the acquisition of skills in the
areas of reading, writing, mathematics, science, and social
studies. The reader will learn what children can understand and do
at various ages in these domains. (3) Understanding gender and
ethnic differences in achievement. New to this edition:
- Additional case studies provide students with real-life
examples of instructional techniques, classroom problems, or
classroom successes so that theory can be linked to classroom
practice.
- Updated sections on brain research relevant to school-related
learning provide insight to this emerging area that will influence
learning.
- Very thoroughly revised with over 300 references including
studies from major journals in education, developmental, and
cognitive psychology. This wide range of resources provides the
most current research and also illustrates the different approaches
taken by different categories of researchers.
- New chapter on intelligence, aptitude, and expertise shows how
these factors can help explain individual differences in the
ability to benefit from instruction
- Revamped chapter on problem solving and transfer updates
research and clarifies the exposition.
What your colleagues are saying about this edition: "I very much
lookforward to the 3rd edition of "Cognitive Development and
Learning in Instructional Contexts..."I expect that my students
will keep the third edition as a reference in their professional
libraries." ~ Myrna Ganter, University of West Georgia "I have used
this book in three courses. I will continue to use it. It is an
excellent source and great for class discussion and provides a
wonderful source for helping students process information more
deeply." ~ Linda K. Metzke, Lyndon State College
