Today’s Canadian classrooms are complex, diverse and changing. Teachers need to be able to use theories and research to think critically about the issues that they face, and take the appropriate action. Guided through a four-step process — Reflection, Information Gathering, Decision-making, and Evaluation (RIDE) — preservice teachers using this text learn how to apply research to decision making in today’s Canadian classrooms. Nationally renowned scholars and experts in educational theory, motivation, and assessment, the Canadian author team of Miranda D’Amico and Richard F. Schmid links theory and empirical findings to practical issues throughout the text. Highly praised classroom cases, thought-provoking questions, and synthesizing activities provide preservice teachers with the skills they need to be reflective practitioners who can frame questions about their classrooms, think critically about the answers to those questions, and then take action.

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.

Cognitive Perspectives on Peer Learning

Teachers help students learn, develop and realise their potential. Educational psychology is the scientific study of how people learn and how teachers can foster learning. An understanding of these principles and how they can be applied to classroom situations is as crucial as it ever has been for the contemporary Australian school teacher, from early childhood through to secondary school. Building on the success of the first edition, Educational Psychology, Second Australian edition, draws together the pre-eminent academic voices in Australia's educational psychology landscape. The culmination of the authors' knowledge, hands-on experience and insight will help pre-service teachers develop a framework to implement teaching strategies that promote students' learning, development and potential. Australian school students and learning environments are ever-changing. Many issues have an impact on the dynamics of the contemporary learning and teaching environment, including increasing student diversity, the pervasive impact of technology and the evolution of the Australian curriculum. The study of educational psychology can help teachers better understand their students and better understand the process of teaching. That is the primary purpose of this resource. Educational Psychology, Second Australian edition, also encourages pre-service teachers to become reflective practitioners who can frame classroom-based questions and use a 'scientist-practitioner' approach to answer those questions. It provides: * a clear description of the theoretical principles in psychology that have relevance for education, along with an analysis of their current research support * practical guidance about how to link theory and practice in the context of classrooms * learning tools to help pre-service teachers develop skills they can build on throughout their teaching careers.

Teachers help students learn, develop, and realize their potential. To become successful in their craft, teachers need to learn how to establish high-quality relationships with their students, and they need to learn how to implement instructional strategies that promote students' learning, development, and potential. To prepare pre-service teachers for the profession, the study of educational psychology can help them to better understand their students and better understand their process of teaching. Such is the twofold purpose of Educational Psychology – to help pre-service teachers understand their future students better and to help them understand all aspects of the teaching-learning situation. The pursuit of these two purposes leads to the ultimate goal of this text – namely, to help pre-service teachers become increasingly able to promote student learning, development, and potential when it becomes their turn to step into the classroom and take full-time responsibility for their own classes.
