For Introduction to Educational Psychology courses. Forty-four
easy-to-read modules facilitate students' learning and retention In
clear and jargon-free prose, Educational Psychology, 14th Edition,
explains and illustrates educational psychology's practical
relevance for teachers and learners. Theory and practice are
considered together, showing how research on child development,
learning, cognition, motivation, instruction, and assessment can be
applied to solve the everyday problems of teaching. The 14th
Edition offers a state-of-the-art presentation of the field of
educational psychology, with new and expanded coverage of important
topics like the brain, neuroscience, and teaching; the impact of
technology and virtual learning environments on the lives of
students and teachers; and diversity in today's classrooms.
Child and Adolescent Development is an exciting, first edition that
offers teacher education a new child development text organized
with a chronological approach. This means that descriptions of the
physical, cognitive, and social and emotional development of
children and adolescents are spiraled throughout the text as
discussions examine the characteristics of and the developmental
milestones of four major stages of development; infancy and
toddlerhood, early childhood, middle childhood, and adolescents.
Each text part investigates the significant changes that happen
during that developmental period and discusses what may influence
body growth, brain and motor development, language, intelligence,
parent and peer relationships, and self identity. Unique to this
text is how the discussions are written from a global perspective,
not only illustrating the universal and diverse contexts in which
children and adolescents grow up but also demonstrating how
cultural contexts cultivate the development of language and impact
children's and adolescent's world views and their growth. In Child
and Adolescent Development, knowledgeable and revered authors,
Anita Woolfolk and Nancy Perry, explore the implications and
applications of the best research in child development. They
provide reliable and practical guidelines to help prospective
teachers, and other professionals who intend to work with children
and adolescents, recognize typical and atypical development and
learn how to support the development of children and adolescents in
positive ways.
This new edition of the European adaptation of Anita Woolfolk's
market-leading US text, Educational Psychology, is unrivalled in
its field and should be essential reading for anyone studying or
interested in education and learning from a psychology perspective.
Fundamentally rewritten in a European context, this truly
comprehensive book combines a thorough grounding in theory with an
abundance of examples and illustrations from educational practice.
The second edition has been brought up to date and includes new
work in the areas of Assessment for Learning and Attachment Theory,
as well as reflecting recent changes in Special Educational Needs
provision. Using a wealth of examples, case studies, practical
applications and tips from experienced educational practitioners,
the text shows how information and ideas drawn from cutting-edge
research in educational psychology can be applied to solve the
everyday problems of teaching and child development. Psychology in
Education is an invaluable resource and includes a range of textual
features appealing to a variety of different reading and learning
styles.
