Child Development: An Active Learning Approach

by Laura E. Levine, Joyce Munsch

In the topically organized Child An Active Learning Approach, Fourth Edition, authors Laura E. Levine and Joyce Munsch take students on an active journey toward understanding children and their development. Active Learning activities integrated throughout the text capture student interest and turn reading into an engaged learning process. Through the authors’ active learning philosophy, students are challenged to test their knowledge, confront common misconceptions, relate the material to their own experiences, and participate in real-world activities independently and with children. Because consuming research is equally important in the study of child development, Journey of Research features provide both historical context and its links to today’s cutting-edge research studies. Students will discover the excitement of studying child development while gaining skills they can use long after course completion. This title is accompanied by a complete teaching and learning package.

This is my favorite textbook of all time by far!

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

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.
