EdPsych Modules by Cheryl Cisero Durwin and Marla Reese-Weber uses an innovative modular approach and case studies based on real-life classroom situations to address the challenge of effectively connecting theory and research to practice. Succinct, stand-alone modules are organized into themed units and offer instructors the flexibility to tailor the book’s contents to the needs of their course. The units begin with a set of case studies written for early childhood, elementary, middle, and secondary classrooms, showing students the dynamics influencing the future students they plan to teach. All 25 modules highlight diversity, emphasizing how psychological factors adapt and change based on external influences such as sex, gender, race, language, disability status, and socioeconomic background. The Fifth Edition includes over seven hundred new references across all 25 modules, and thorough coverage of the latest developments in education like new technologies like artificial intelligence and virtual reality, the latest neuroscience research, and updated coverage of disabilities.

“This is a features-heavy Ed Psych book that would be of value to students if they used it appropriately to annotate, make flashcards, and quiz themselves.”
Spalding University
“Informative and in-depth without being overwhelming to students; great embedded application practice activities, and useful research-to-practice application sections.”
University of Wisconsin-La Crosse
“It is a comprehensive introductory educational psychology textbook that provides a means to target the various levels of teacher education through the use of case studies. The case study questions are an opportunity for students to use higher level thinking -- analysis and synthesis -- about the material learned, leading to a deep understanding of the principles and how to apply them in their classroom.”
