In clear and jargon-free prose, Educational Psychology: Active Learning Edition, 14th Edition, explains and illustrates educational psychology’s practical relevance for teachers and learners. Theory and practice are considered together, showing how research on child development, learning, cognition, motivation, instruction, and assessment can be applied to solve the everyday problems of teaching. The 14th Edition offers a state-of-the-art presentation of the field of educational psychology, with new and expanded coverage of important topics like the brain, neuroscience, and teaching; the impact of technology and virtual learning environments on the lives of students and teachers; and diversity in today’s classrooms.
