Theories in Educational Psychology: Concise Guide To Meaning And Practice

by Alyssa R. Gonzalez-Dehass, Patricia P. Willems (Contributor)

Theories in Educational Psychology’s purpose is to introduce readers to the pioneering educational psychology theories that continue to shape our understanding of the classroom learning environment, present support for the theories from perspectives in the current research literature, and share how these theoretical traditions have translated into effective teaching methods. Each chapter will be infused with practical teaching examples, classroom vignettes, and instructional strategies so readers are continually confronted with how theory translates to practice. In addition to becoming familiar with the conceptual understanding of core theoretical knowledge, readers will also be presented with current thinking about each theory and an introduction to important related topics at the close of each chapter. The chapters will also conclude with activities designed to help readers reflect on their learning of each chapter’s content.

I enjoy the way this book is written and organized. But I had to read it for a class where one of the Authors was the professor. This is not a review of that class, just the book. I’ll keep it in my collection for future reference, but if I ever have to do an assignment out of it again it will be too soon.
