Editorial Reviews

The Eggen and Kauchak text provides a plethora of meaningful and high-quality examples (including video examples) of how educational psychology is used in classrooms. It is a very applied text and practices what it preaches... [Its strengths include] the discussions of teaching misconceptions... the discussion of perspective taking and social problem solving... creativity... behavioral and cognitive approaches to classroom management. The case studies provided are also instructionally useful.”

– E. Michael Nussbaum, University of Nevada, Las Vegas



“[On the interactive, digital features available in MyLab Education:] The application exercise is an outstanding review of the major concepts... The self-check features are a valuable tool for students to understand the material. The questions were aligned to the most important concepts in the chapters and most were effective in their feedback... The video examples feature is effective in applying the major concepts to a classroom setting and they are well aligned to the content covered in the text.”

– Rory B. Dippold, George Mason University



“[Strengths include:] Theories are often immediately connected to concrete examples and promising strategies in teaching. Organic integration of content standards... I especially like the recurring use of concrete classroom dialogue to illustrate big ideas and promising strategies. My students would value the appendix on preparing for the Praxis test... Overall, I love [the self-check] feature: it’s potentially highly effective in helping the read[er] better understand. The questions are generally well designed and I like being able to try again. I like that the feedback on incorrect answers explains the error... rather than just displaying the correct answer. Yes, the questions are well-aligned, and often preserve some nuance rather than only calling for simple recall... [Using application exercises] is a promising strategy: coupling a video with some short-answer questions that require higher-level thinking... ”

– Kym Buchanan, University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point
