Reviews

From reviews of the text: [W]hen I ask students if I should continue to use this textbook in the future, the answer always is a unanimous 'yes.' . . . The students find this book to be very engaging and relevant. . . . No textbook is perfect, but this one is the best I have used to date. . . . The problem [with my previous text] was most of my students did not read it. . . . I decided to go ahead with Ormrod . . ., because my colleagues used it. I discovered that my students love the book. Most say they read all of the assigned chapters. . . . [With my previous text] only 1 to 3 of [a class of] 35 or so students ever claimed to have read all of the assigned chapters. Most said they read 'some of the assigned chapters.' -Darlene DeMarie, University of South Florida I changed [to this text] because [of the recommendation of] another professor who . . . uses Ormrod's Educational Psychology and really likes it. She likes teaching the course with a greater emphasis on how theory and research looks in classroom application and instructional design. She shared her extra copy of Educational Psychology with me; I liked it and redesigned my course sections. I like the result from the changes; students are more engaged and course grades are higher. Students relate well to the text. . . . What I like about this text is that the [theory and research] is there, but in a supporting role. It supports all of the aspects directly related to the classroom domain, such as instruction, relationships, management, assessment, and motivation. It is presented in such an easy-to-understand style with abundant reader supports and scaffolds that students can and will engage with the text and the course. -Beverly K. McIntyre, University of North Carolina at Charlotte
