Publisher's Synopsis
This treatment of the principles of cognitive psychology and their application to education is a revision of the text "Popular Psychology for Teachers" by Glover, Running, and Bruning. Practical, applied coverage provides a grounding in cognitive psychology, and an understanding of how it relates to the day-to-day challenges of teaching, setting instructional design goals, and achieving the requirements of an effective curriculum. This edition has a three-chapter treatment of the relationship between beliefs and cognition reflecting the newest developments in the field - the change from a study of "cold cognition" to one that encompasses affect, belief, and motivational constructs.
