Riassunto

In the 10th edition of Psychology in Action, Author Karen Huffman redefines and refocuses her message of "active learning". This is reflected as "Student Engagement through Active Participation." All in-text pedagogy (including the new MythBuster box) are subsumed under this big category making it easier for reps to concretely demonstrate this theme.

Recognized as the leading textbook for active learning and student success, Psychology in Action is specifically designed to engage students with the material and inspire them to learn more by connecting topics to everyday life. Author Karen Huffman shows readers how to examine and improve their personal study and learning styles through unique pedagogical aides. New to this edition, each chapter's Myth Busters prompt students to think critically about common psychological misperceptions and myths. Can you debunk or confirm the following Myth Busters statements?
