This market-leading text has received wide acclaim for providing an applied, practical, and student-oriented approach to educational psychology. Psychology Applied to Teaching takes complex psychological theories and demonstrates how they apply to the everyday experiences of in-service teachers. The Twelfth Edition combines fresh concepts and contemporary research with long-standing theory and applications to create a textbook that addresses the needs of today's teachers and students. This new edition also reflects the Houghton Mifflin Education mission to help bridge the gap from preservice to practice. To that end, several of the program's features foster in students an appreciation of reflection. The first and last chapters discuss the concept and importance of reflective teaching; by providing Pause & Reflect and Journal Entry opportunities throughout the text prompt active reflection; and a new feature, Revealing & Challenging Assumptions, offers aspiring teachers opportunities to confront and reflect on problematic assumptions about teaching and learning.
  • Suggestions for Teaching in Your Classroom provides concrete teaching examples that highlight the application of psychological research in the classroom. This real-world connection helps pre-service teachers understand the value of their Educational Psychology course to their development as an educator.
  • Case in Print presents a recent newspaper article in every chapter to illustrate the relationship between chapter content and real-life classroom practices. Nearly two-thirds of the articles are new to this edition, and additional cases are available on the Student Website.
  • Take a Stand! provides students with brief models of how one can articulate a compelling position on an educational issue. The Student Website extends this popular feature with additional resources and pedagogy.
  • Pause & Reflect sections prompt students to stop and think about a concept, to make connections between concepts, and to relate theory and actual classroom practice. These features also encourage students to relate their own experiences to what they are reading.
  • Journal Entries encourage readers to prepare a personal set of guidelines for reference before and during the student teaching experience and during the first years of teaching. Chapter 16, "Becoming a Better Teacher by Becoming a Reflective Teacher," features a guide for setting up and using a Reflective Journal.
  • Resources for Further Investigation, an annotated bibliography at the end of each chapter, offers sources of information on the major topics covered.
  • Each chapter concludes with a Summary, a numbered list of key topics that helps students review for exams or prepare for class discussions.
