Education

For graduate and upper-level courses in Educational Psychology.

This text introduces future educators and researchers to several different psychological perspectives and uses these perspectives to introduce key issues such as knowledge acquisition and transfer, strategic process, and student motivation. As an editor and reviewer of the top journals in the field, the author is able to present the latest research in language that is accessible and understandable. Unlike other texts that are organized around theoretical topics valued by psychologists, it is organized around education problems and issues deemed important by educators.

• Case studies.

  • Opens each chapter with a case by an actual teacher to illustrate how research is used to solve problems in today's classroom.

• Guiding questions.

  • Organizes chapter content around two or three key questions from actual teachers and researchers to guide readers to understand the critical issues presented in the tex.

• Pressing issues.

  • Closes each chapter with a discussion of an educational dilemma that is yet to be resolved and spawns reader reflection and ideas for educational exploration.

• Instructional application.

  • Contains activities that encourage readers to apply the text's content.
