Description
By (author) Santrock, John
Educational Psychology emphasizes the application of theory to real classroom practice, making connections among chapter concepts, relevant scholarship, and rich vignettes of the real-life experiences of teachers across all grade-levels. Santrock’s hallmark Learning System organizes the content into manageable chunks under learning goals, supported by mini-chapter maps that lay out each section, and reinforced by chapter-ending case studies that give students the opportunity to reflect on and synthesize what they have learned.
