Child Development: An Active Learning Approach

by Laura E. Levine

In the  Third Edition  of the topically organized  Child An Active Learning Approach , authors Laura E. Levine and Joyce A. Munsch invite students to take an active journey toward understanding the latest findings from the field of child development. Using robust pedagogical tools built into the chapter narratives, students are challenged to confront myths and misconceptions, participate in real-world activities with children and independently, and utilize video resources and research tools to pursue knowledge and develop critical thinking skills on their own.



This new edition covers the latest findings on developmental neuroscience, positive youth development, the role of fathers, and more, with topics of diversity and culture integrated throughout.



More than a textbook, this one-of-a-kind resource will continue to serve students as they go on to graduate studies, to work with children and adolescents professionally, and to care for children of their own.

This is my favorite textbook of all time by far!

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.
