| Designed for courses in Child Development, organized topically | |
| |
| |
| Summary This topically organized book uses a student-friendly writing style, intuitive design, and an active learning system to help students critically explore the many perspectives on child development | |
| |
| |
| Child Development: Principles and Perspectives encourages students to take an active role in their learning and to think about children''s development from a variety of perspectives | |
| |
| |
| Through interviews, cases, and vignettes, students gain a broad understanding of the viewpoints of people who work with, live with, and care for children, bringing this dynamic field to life! From the start of each chapter, students actively engage in reading, questioning, and connecting information to their everyday lives and the lives of others | |
| |
| |
| The text''s features uniquely work together as an integrated system to optimize student learning and memory | |
| |
| |
| Child Development is accompanied by MyDevelopmentLab, and exciting new learning and teaching tool designed to increase student success in the classroom, and provide instructors with every resource needed to teach and administer their course | |
| |
| |
| The text plus MyDevelopmentLab is a complete recipe for student success! Features Unique perspectives theme invites students to consider child development from many different viewpoints and helps students understand why they should study child development and how it impacts their lives | |
| |
| |
| Numerous features tie into this theme, including: A Perspective to Think About case study, which immediately engages students with a story about someone who is in a difficult or vulnerable situation | |
| |
| |
| A Professional Perspective, presented as an interview, allows students to meet a child development professional (such as a genetic counselor, social worker, or juvenile probation officer) and read about the challenges these professionals face and the unique ways they approach these challenges | |
| |
| |
| A Personal Perspective, also presented as an interview, shows students how real people parents, children, or adolescents relate to child development issues | |
| |
| |
| A Social Policy Perspective highlights the ways programs, laws, regulations, and other governing aspects of society can affect children, and asks students to think about the impact of social policies on children | |
| |
| |
| Your Perspective Notes, found in the margins throughout the text, ask students to think about how the material they have just read applies to their own lives | |
| |
| |
| Study aids throughout each chapter are designed as part of a complete active learning system, with each component being visually linked to the others for navigational ease and reinforcement | |
| |
| |
| This unique learning system includes: Preview Questions at the start of each major section orient students'' thinking toward the material to follow | |
| |
| |
| Let''s Review Questions (a combination of multiple-choice and true-false questions) appear at the end of each major section, with answers provided below and upside down, so in just a few seconds students receive quick feedback on their understanding of the material | |
| |
| |
| A Chapter Review in a question-and-answer format concludes each chapter, reminding students about the main questions addressed in the chapter and offering a quick summary of the most important concepts | |
| |
| |
| A running glossary appears in the margin, providing students with easy-to- access definitions of key terms | |
| |
| |
| The situation described in A Perspective to Think About is revisited throughout the chapter with marginal Thinking Of notes (which ask students to provide advice or solutions to the opening situation), and reviewed at the end of the chapter with Thinking Back (which offers a number of suggestions on how the chapter content could be used to advise the characters described in A Perspective to Think About), integrating the case study thoroughly and enabling student to relate chapter content to a real situation | |
| |
| |
| Beautiful illustrations throughout the book help to make the content fun, colorful, diverse, engaging, and contemporary. Strong diversity coverage, integrated throughout the book, rather than relegated to a sidebar or boxed feature, promotes students'' understanding and appreciation of our multicultural, modern society | |
| |
| |
| Technology Advantage ? | |
| |
| |
| MyDevelopmentLab is an interactive and instructive solution for developmental psychology | |
| |
| |
| Designed to be used as a supplement to a traditional lecture course, or to completely administer an online course, MyDevelopmentLab combines multimedia, tutorials, video, audio, simulations, animations, and controlled assessments to engage students | |
| |
| |
| A separate chapter on atypical development (Ch. 14) covers behavioral, emotional, developmental, and learning problems, and abuse and neglect | |
| |
| |
| The chapter juxtaposes the two ends of the developmental spectrum, allowing student to compare (for example) developmental problems with giftedness, showing how children at both ends need thoughtful consideration. Research statistics and the human experience are woven together, creating a purposeful and engaging balance for students | |
