OverviewProvides the core concepts in educational psychology with strategies to facilitate learning and development. While generally shorter than competing educational psychology textbooks, Essentials of Educational Psychology provides a comprehensive overview of theories, research, and educational implications related to learning and cognition, motivation, child and adolescent development, instructional methods, classroom management, and assessment. Each chapter is organized around three to six Big Ideas, and each Big Idea is then divided into several more specific bold-faced principles or recommendations. Widely acclaimed for its conversational writing style, the book provides a clear and easily understood picture of the psychological principles that impact teaching and learning.
