Educational Psychology Second Edition

Educational Psychology provides a comprehensive overview of how key advances in social, developmental, and cognitive psychology impact the work of educational psychologists today. Written by leading researchers, the book also explores controversies and dilemmas in both research and practice, offering students a balanced and cutting-edge introduction to the field and the profession. Fully revised throughout, the new edition is designed to encourage students to integrate their understanding of core psychological disciplines and to consider the true meaning of ‘evidence-based practice’. Organized into two main sections on learning and behavior, the book includes a selection of case studies from educational psychologists working in various settings, as well as tasks and scenarios to support a problem-oriented approach to study.
