Educational Psychology: Developing Learners [With 2 CDROMs]

A very well-organized text, with several extras for additional sources of related information, data, and self-testing. Purchased used, it came with both CD-ROMs and access to the related websites.

I bought the book new, the price was great and I received it in a short amount of time.

This book truly is a must for all teachers, educators and parents. Jeanna Ormrod provides excellent, clear and valuable knowledge on how we learn, how learning can be enhanced, positively influenced and effectively encouraged. She elaborates on scientific evidence why and towards which direction we should reconsider teaching and educational efforts: towards meaningful and useful aquisition of new information, skills or behaviors which makes sence and a difference to learner's individual lifes.

This book reviews basic concepts of Psychology and adds information especially for educators. I have been using it for about a month now for a college class. It is well written and very informative.

I found this book to be very informitive in how the mind works and respect to how people learn. I have improved my personal study habits because after reading this book I realized that I was not using the most effective way of keeping things in my long term memory. This book gives a detailed explanation with real life examples of how to approach situations as a teacher or parent who wants to know the inner tickings of the developing learner. If you are more concerned with toddlers though this book only briefly touches on them. This book deals more with school age children. If I were to try and write a review that this book deserves, I would be writing all night. I know that the description of this book is written above and I believe it to be a really good description of the book. I will agree though that this book answers all of the aspects of teaching, learning and the classroom as well as the many theories and approaches to educational psychology.
