Written to help readers understand and develop expertise in both
teaching and learning, "Educational Psychology" focuses on the art
and science necessary to become an expert teacher. Renowned
scholars, Sternberg and Williams help readers capitalize on their
strengths by integrating questions into the text that encourage
analytical, creative, and practical thinking. This framework, based
on Sternberg's triarchic theory of human intelligence, helps ensure
that readers think deeply about what they are learning, rather than
merely processing information at a superficial level. In addition,
