Child Development and Education bridges the gap between theory and
practice, showing those who teach and care for infants, children,
and adolescents how to apply developmental research and theory to
everyday practice. More so than any other text, Child Development
and Education not only describes developmental phenomena--for
infants through late adolescence--but also faciliates observations
of and analyses of what children say, do, and create, ensuring that
educators can make informed decisions that meet children's and
adolescent's needs. New to the fifth edition is a sensitivity to
the cultural and bioecological nature of development. New features
of the text situate children and adolescents in the contexts of
their upbringing and articulate the implications of these
experiences for educators and other professionals. Illustrated is
the diverse nature of development and how it is influenced by
social, environmental, and cultural contexts. Also new to this
edition is support for teacher licensure preparation. Teacher
candidates are alerted to developmental concepts and theorists they
need to know, and are provided practice test questions and case
studies to review, demonstrating for them how to prepare for their
licensure exam.
Written in a conversational and engaging manner, How We Think and
Learn introduces readers to basic principles and research findings
regarding human cognition and memory. It also highlights and
debunks twenty-eight common misconceptions about thinking,
learning, and the brain. Interspersed throughout the book are many
short do-it-yourself exercises in which readers can observe key
principles in their own thinking and learning. All ten chapters end
with concrete recommendations - both for readers' own learning and
for teaching and working effectively with others. As an
accomplished researcher and writer, Jeanne Ellis Ormrod gives us a
book that is not only highly informative but also a delight to
read.
