Child Development and Education - Tapa blanda

"This text is impressive. Key strengths are: 1) the deliberate inclusion of application..; 2) the up-to-date treatment of topics, such as diversity and bullying; 3) in-depth attention to topics that are absolutely critical to education and other applied settings with children but often get less attention, such as self-regulation and temperament; 4) the eText supplemental materials, especially the videos, self-checks, and application features, are excellent complements to the text content and definitely increase the usefulness of this text for students of all levels... This work is superior to other texts I have used in my child psychology courses. It contains more sophistication in terms of depth of coverage, applied examples, detail, and coverage of timely topics." - Kathleen Moritz Rudasill, University of Nebraska, Lincoln "Courses in education tend to cover pedagogy or methods and developmental psychologists talk about cognitive development and processes. This is one of the reasons I appreciate this text because it takes what we know from the literature in child development and allows the students to apply it to the educational setting... This text has always provided a great deal of resources for both the instructors and the students. It is a great text with a great deal of material to enhance student learning." - Laura Dinehart, Florida International University "I love this textbook... In every edition, there are... new features... [that] I love... Integrating technology, adopting the most up-to-date information and giving examples from real life make the textbook very rich, interactive, and easy to study. The authors have a sincere understanding of the nature of our students... This is the most useful and effective textbook I have ever used... [And] the eText features are very effective, timely, and appropriate... [and] make learning very interactive and engaging. The videos, self--assessments and interactive exercises are very powerful tools." - Nurun N. Begum, East Stroudsburg University "I think [Child Development and Education] does a great job bridging the gaps between theory and real life application. It gives great information, while also giving practical applications... All of the etext features are very user friendly, very important to the reader, and do so much for helping the reader understand and make sure they know the material and can be held responsible for it with confidence." - Nicola Montelongo, Texas A&M University, Commerce
