It also includes innumerable concrete examples and artifacts to help readers connect educational psychology to real children and classrooms.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

From reviews of the text:

 

[W]hen I ask students if I should continue to use this textbook in the future, the answer always is a unanimous ‘yes.’ . . .  The students find this book to be very engaging and relevant. . . .  No textbook is perfect, but this one is the best I have used to date. . . .  The problem [with my previous text] was most of my students did not read it. . . .  I decided to go ahead with Ormrod . . ., because my colleagues used it.  I discovered that my students love the book.  Most say they read all of the assigned chapters. . . .  [With my previous text] only 1 to 3 of [a class of] 35 or so students ever claimed to have read all of the assigned chapters.  Most said they read ‘some of the assigned chapters.’”

 

–Darlene DeMarie, University of South Florida

 

“I changed [to this text] because [of the recommendation of] another professor who . . . uses Ormrod’s Educational Psychology and really likes it. She likes teaching the course with a greater emphasis on how theory and research looks in classroom application and instructional design. She shared her extra copy of Educational Psychology with me; I liked it and redesigned my course sections. I like the result from the changes; students are more engaged and course grades are higher. Students relate well to the text. . . . What I like about this text is that the [theory and research] is there, but in a supporting role. It supports all of the aspects directly related to the classroom domain, such as instruction, relationships, management, assessment, and motivation. It is presented in such an easy-to-understand style with abundant reader supports and scaffolds that students can and will engage with the text and the course.”
