Abstract

For Introduction to Educational Psychology courses

This package includes the Enhanced Pearson eText and the loose-leaf version.

 

Case-based, balanced, and applied  

This significantly revised Tenth Edition focuses on applying theories and research in educational psychology to an educator’s work in the classroom. Using an integrated-case approach, authors Eggen and Kauchak begin each chapter with a case study taken from actual classroom practice, and then weave the case throughout the chapter, extracting specific illustrations and, in some instances, using dialogue directly from the case to emphasize the application of chapter content to the classroom setting. Many additional concrete examples taken from both classrooms and daily living further illustrate the content of each chapter in a comprehensive and approachable manner.
