Summary

Long recognized as very practical and applied, Eggen and Kauchak's Educational Psychology: Windows on Classrooms, Seventh Edition, retains its case-based approach in a new concise format. Building on written and video cases, the book provides a clear illustration of how educational psychology theories present themselves in real classrooms. This edition has enhanced its coverage in the areas of technology, models of instruction, diversity, urban education, and social context. A new pedagogical system reinforces and identifies key ideas in every chapter, making it easy to use for quick reference. Two new DVDs come with each book and provide authentic classroom footage that corresponds directly to chapter material.
