Customer Reviews

Excellent workbook!

I used this workbook as a supplement to prepare for the CLEP exam in Educational Psych. I would highly recommend this workbook as a compliment to your Ed. Psych texts or for the CLEP exams. The only drawback: there are a lot of grammar/spelling errors. It drove me nuts! Other than that, an excellent workbook.

Educational Pyschology 9th Edition

The book I received was in excellent condition just as the ad for it said it would be. I also received it very quickly even though it was standard mail.

A Fine Introduction to the Field

Contrary to some of the other reviews on this page, I found the book to be a helpful and very readable itroduction to the field of educational psychology. No, it is not a definitive and cutting edge expert treatise, but that is not its purpose. It is introducing first year students to the major theories and ideas that have historically shaped educational psychology, and it does so very concisely and thoroughly. Just like an Introduction to Christian History text is not going to delve into the finer points of Crossan's theories about Jesus' death, or a first year Calculus text is not going to stress the use of set theory and formal proofs, so this book serves its purpose best by giving a broad, yet thorough introduction to a very interestig field without confusing students with unecessary details. If you are looking to dive into educational psychology and need a helpful introduction to help guide you, this is a great place to start. Recommended.

Solid fundamentals for Educational Psychology

I am director of secondary school student teachers at Lindenwood University in St. Charles, Missouri. I teach courses in Educational Psychology, Teaching and Classroom Management, and Middle School Philosophy. While I use this text in my Educational Psychology class, it has been very helpful in providing information about student development in all of my courses. The book contains a CD-rom with practice tests and useful handouts. I highly recommend it.
