Educational Psychology
"Educational psychology: a problem-based approach presents concepts through the use of problem-based scenarios so that students can construct knowledge about the needs and learning of children and adolescents. Developed for faculty who wish to use a problem-based approach, this text covers basic content and theories providing students with a well rounded, decision-based introduction to the discipline. Written in a narrative style, this text is extremely readable and eases the transition from a discussion of theory to the reality of practice. The text is developmental in focus, highlighting the specific needs of early and middle childhood, and adolescence. It is particularly well suited to studying the educational implications of theories of development and the challenges of children and adolescents with developmental, social-emotional and /or learning challenges. The text was developed based on many real scenarios that mirror events students will see in all multicultural, inclusive, elementary, middle and secondary classrooms. Scenarios are often revisited to illustrate the complexity of situations and present a holistic perspective on development."--Publisher.
