Child Development: An Active Learning Approach

by Laura E. Levine, Joyce Munsch

In the topically organized Child An Active Learning Approach , authors Laura E. Levine and Joyce Munsch guide students through a lively exploration of child development. The text’s integrated active learning activities transform reading into an interactive learning experience that encourages them to test their knowledge, challenge common misconceptions, relate concepts to their own experiences, and engage in real-world activities both independently and with children. Students will not only gain a deeper understanding of child development but also acquire lasting skills that extend beyond the classroom. The latest Fifth Edition introduces new active learning activities, over 1,000 updated references, and new true/false questions that challenge common misconceptions and engage students in the science of development.

This is my favorite textbook of all time by far!

This text is great for an overview of a lot of topics in child development, but it leaves out a lot of of deeper modern research particularly within the biological lens and needs updated gender identity information.

It was fine for a textbook. 📖 I actually really did like this class though.

[Jess Moss]

A pretty shoddy textbook. Not terribly scientific. A lot of unsupported b.s. The professor admitted this book is not the best and is often wrong. He chose it because it is simple, and he wanted us to focus more on his lectures. Definitely don't recommend this one.

I read the entire thing from cover to cover and really enjoyed it. Provided me a really great foundation for working with children and families. I appreciate the fact that one can access the textbook’s supplemental learning tools for free via the web.
