Edition: 5th

For undergraduate and graduate courses in cognition/instruction in education and in applied psychology departments.

This current and contemporary text uses cognitive psychology research to inform and improve classroom instruction.

Developed on the landmark idea that knowledge of cognitive psychology gives teachers a deeper understanding of educational goals as well as an improved ability to design educational interventions that motivate and engage students, this edition of Cognitive Psychology and Instruction is revised to include the latest research and most contemporary perspectives in the field.

Tying cognitive psychology and motivation theory with classroom practice, this best-selling text applies recent research findings to real-life teaching and student learning. Part One includes comprehensive coverage of the basic principles of cognitive psychology followed by an investigation of the role of beliefs and motivation in cognitive processes and learning in Part Two. Part Three of the text examines how cognitive and motivational research informs teaching and learning in specific content areas.

Product description

From the Back Cover

This best-selling text uses cognitive psychology research to inform and improve classroom instruction.

The new edition is keenly focused on the applications of cognitive psychology specific to education, teaching and learning. The text is accessible and readable; includes a superior, extensive and authoritative section on motivation; and applies the most current research on cognitive psychology and motivation to classroom teaching and student learning. Readers will begin by reading about the basic principles of cognitive psychology, and later move onto the role of beliefs and motivations in cognitive processes and learning. Additionally, readers will explore cognitive and motivational research focused on teaching and learning in specific content areas; the application of psychology to teaching and learning; and the features of cognitive psychology most relevant to education. Furthermore, the text offers superior, extensive and authoritative coverage of motivation not found in comparable texts on the market. Written for those interested in the applications of psychology to teaching and learning, including pre-service and in-service teachers, as well as other educators, support staff, counselors, and administrators who wish to build a deeper understanding of psychology’s applications to education, this text will not disappoint in its goal of teaching how to apply the latest research and theory to practice, as well as instruction how to design educational interventions that engage and motivate all students.

    Book came in a timely manner and was in impeccable condition! The book itself was so-so. It helped me through my course but was painful to read and would not be very useful once I get in the classroom. I sold it once the class was done.
