By Jack Snowman, Rick McCown
About your course materials
This text has received wide acclaim for its applied, practical, and student-oriented approach to educational psychology, which demonstrates how complex psychological theories apply to the everyday experiences of in-service teachers. Coverage of educational psychology is framed so that the aspiring and developing teachers who read it can see themselves as engaged learners: professionals who continuously seek, find, and test better ways to help their students succeed. PSYCHOLOGY APPLIED TO TEACHING, 14th 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 edition also features integration of InTASC Standards, new Learning Objectives correlated with chapter headings and summaries, new Guides to Reading and Studying, new first-person accounts (Improving Practice through Inquiry: One Teacher's Story), and more.

Based on research on designs for teaching and learning, the book frames effective teaching as being the result of a systematic and continual inquiry process of collecting and analyzing data about one's instructional efforts. Chapter 1 introduces a four-part model called “teaching as inquiry” to help students better understand how that process works. The book also addresses how teacher inquiry is supported through formative assessment practices.
Suggestions for Teaching provide 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 in their development as an educator. For ease of reference, these sections are printed on a colored background and tabbed.
TeachSource Video Case boxes integrate the text with video cases, bringing key topics to life and simulating classroom observation by referring students to relevant cases that they can view online at Education CourseMate. Critical-thinking questions, artifacts, and bonus footage help students reflect on the videos.
Take a Stand! provides students with brief models of how to articulate a compelling position on an educational issue. The feature is extended with additional resources and pedagogy at Education CourseMate.
