Review
From reviews of the text:
“The writing style is very engaging and appropriate... Meaningful interpretation and representation of the content (e.g., examples, tables, figure, summaries, application examples) is the real strength of this book.”
— Sungok Serena Shim, Ball State University
“The authors do their homework in terms of supporting their writing with research and the work of others in the field and those in fields allied to educational psychology.... [They] are clearly driven by the professional literature as well as current understandings of best practice, and there are plenty of practical examples and applications to keep the students’ interest….Eggen and Kauchak are personable and real.”
— Douglas W. Smith, Coastal Carolina University

Case-based, balanced, and applied, this significantly revised this Tenth Edition focuses on applying theories and research in educational psychology to an educator's work in the classroom. Using an integrated-case approach, authors Eggen and Kauchak begin each chapter with a case study taken from actual classroom practice, and then weave the case throughout the chapter, extracting specific illustrations and, in some instances, using dialogue directly from the case to emphasize the application of chapter content to the classroom setting. Many additional concrete examples taken from both classrooms and daily living further illustrate the content of each chapter in a comprehensive and approachable manner. The Enhanced Pearson eText features embedded video, assessments, and Preparing for Your Licensure Exam assessments.
