Riassunto

This book will help preservice teachers develop the skills necessary to become reflective practitioners who can frame questions about their classrooms and use a "scientist-practitioner" approach to answer those questions. The authors first focus on how students develop and how and why they might be motivated to learn. They then examine learning and teaching as well as the contexts in which these processes occur. And they discuss how to assess if a student has gained an understanding of the classroom material.

Dalla quarta di copertina

Make Reflection an Everyday Practice
Because today's classrooms and instructional demands are changing, new teachers need to be able to frame questions about their classrooms, use theories and research to think critically about the answers to those questions, and then take action.

Using real classroom cases, thought-provoking questions, and synthesizing activities, the authors guide students through a unique 4-step process Reflection, Information Gathering, Decision-Making, and Evaluation (RIDE) that seamlessly translates theory into practice, and helps make reflection an everyday practice.

Written by experts in cognition, motivation, and assessment, Educational Psychology: Reflection for Action provides an effective framework that not only makes the study of educational psychology manageable, but also develops new teachers into reflective practitioners.
