Description
"I applaud the vision the authors had in synthesizing this information in a way that makes the reader more confident in their application of these theories and principles to their own classrooms. The authors have wonderfully succeeded in their attempt to integrate this material, in a manner quite different from other texts I've read or reviewed."
Jim Persinger, "Emporia State University"
"Any textbook that overemphasizes theory, neglects the real-world; any textbook that overemphasizes practice, neglects the underlying foundation of theory. This book strikes a careful balance between theory and practice by explicitly linking the two."
Gregory Cutler, "Bay de Noc Community College"
"By far, this is the best educational psychology text I have read because it integrates and applies major learning theories to many of the daily issues future teachers will face."
Krista Robertson, "Rhode Island College"
"I see this textbook as well written, informative, clearly and logically organized, and a very useful component for a course in Educational Psychology. I like it!"
Raymond E. Webster, "East Carolina University"
"The authors have done an excellent job in producing an easy-to-follow format and style."
Paula Holmes Miller, "Crichton College"
"The authors' writing style and presentation level are clear and easy to read, along with tables, figures, concept maps, and other visual aids."
Yuliang Liu, Ph.D, "Southern Illinois University"
"The text is well written and some very difficult topics such as Attribution Theory and Constructivism (to name just two) are easy to understand, when compared to similar books. I think this is some of the clearest writing I have read in a long time."
Michael P. Verdi, "California State University San Bernadino"
"I really enjoyed reading this text, and I found its comprehensive nature to be a strength."
Linda W. Morse, "Mississippi State University"
"The authors' writing style is clear, simple, and direct. It speaks directly to the reader . . . the examples are concrete and related to education."
John Isch, "Martin Luther College"
