Title overview

Educational Psychology is known for its exceptionally clear and engaging writing, its in-depth focus on learning and its extensive concrete applications. The text's unique approach moves seamlessly between theory and application, helping you understand concepts by examining your own learning and then showing you how to apply these concepts as teachers. Compelling application-based examples and authentic artifacts are included throughout the book to help you connect educational psychology to real children and classrooms.

The 11th Edition reflects the most current research on learning, development, motivation and assessment. It features extensive and integrated coverage of diversity, technology, contexts of learning and neuropsychology.
