Description
Understanding students and how they learn is crucial to a student-centred approach to learning and teaching. Psychology Applied to Teaching, 1st Australian Edition has been written to help student teachers across all sectors - early childhood, primary, middle and secondary - to achieve this understanding.With the latest psychological research underpinning its solid theoretical base, this visually stunning, full-colour text also features a vast array of practical suggestions and activities for future teachers. Key themes of the text include its emphasis on diversity and the effective use of technology to facilitate student learning. While much of the text content is applicable to teachers of students of all ages, the unique colour coding and readily identifiable icons used throughout readily denote content that is specific to the different levels of schooling.Each copy of the printed textbook comes with a free copy of the Wiley Desktop Edition: a full electronic version of the text that allows students to easily search for key concepts, create their own colour-coded highlights and make electronic notes in the text for revision.Psychology Applied to Teaching, 1st Australian Edition is an invaluable resource for student teachers taking their first steps in what is a challenging, rewarding and influential profession.FEATURESThese have been designed to deliver hands-on learning that both captures student teacher interest and leads to practical knowledge. Learning outcomes - Each chapter of the text is structured around learning outcomes. These numbered outcomes are identified at the start of the chapter, explained in detail within the chapter, and then concisely addressed in the summary section at the end of the chapter.

Suggestions for Teaching in Your Classroom - Numerous examples of teaching applications at different student year levels are supplied, from early childhood through to secondary. In addition, many generic applications are provided that will apply to teachers regardless of their early childhood, primary or secondary area of teaching specialisation. Where appropriate, the unique colour coding and readily identifiable icons readily denote content that is specific to a particular teaching specialisation. These suggestions are likely to prove invaluable for student teachers venturing into the 'prac' teaching components of their course. Pause and Reflect - Knowing how difficult it can be for students to meaningfully grasp some of the more abstract concepts that make up educational psychology, this feature helps students make connections between one idea and another and between theory and actual classroom practice. As they read each chapter, students are regularly encouraged to stop and think about a concept or issue and consider how their own experiences relate to what they are reading. Take a Stand - In this era of accountability, teachers are frequently criticised and called upon to defend their profession and their practices. This feature helps students to consider, contemplate and articulate their own opinions. Although many veteran t
