Highly regarded experts review the state of the art in cognitive
strategy research with an emphasis on the transition from
laboratory to educational contexts. Basic research on models of
competent learning are discussed, as well as specific instructional
applications in educational domains such as reading, writing,
mathematics and science. Fresh perspectives and innovative
suggestions for teacher training and educational reform are
proffered. Researchers in psychology and education as well as
teacher educators and educational practitioners interested in
becoming well-versed in current cognitive strategy research will
benefit from the interdisciplinary nature and comprehensiveness of
Cognitive Strategy Research: From Basic Issues to Educational
Applications.
This accessible text--now revised and updated--has given thousands
of future educators a solid grounding in developmental science to
inform their work in schools. The book reviews major theories of
development and their impact on educational practice. Chapters
examine how teaching and learning intersect with specific domains
of child and adolescent development--language, intelligence and
intellectual diversity, motivation, family and peer relationships,
gender roles, and mental health. Pedagogical features include
chapter summaries, definitions of key terms, and boxes addressing
topics of special interest to educators. Instructors requesting a
desk copy receive a supplemental test bank with objective test
items and essay questions for each chapter. (First edition authors:
