Description

For an undergraduate introductory level course in child development (prenatal through adolescence) that is organized topically.

 

The Developing Child, Twelfth Edition provides students the most support for learning and success.

 

The Developing Child gives students the tools they require to organize, retain and apply information from the broad field of child psychology, while offering balanced coverage of theory and application. Helen Bee is a prominent author and researcher whose successful books on development, and whose devotion to this field has earned her a national reputation. Denise Boyd of Houston Community College System adds a refreshing voice to this popular, longstanding text, while adding outstanding pedagogy and activities that help students replicate classic research.

  • Create a Custom Text: For enrollments of at least 25, create your own textbook by combining chapters from best-selling Pearson textbooks and/or reading selections in the sequence you want.  To begin building your custom text, visit www.pearsoncustomlibrary.com. You may also work with a dedicated Pearson Custom editor to create your ideal text–publishing your own original content or mixing and matching Pearson content. Contact your Pearson Publisher’s Representative to get started.
  • Topical organization.
  • A conversational style of writing engages students in child development on a personal level.
  • An integrated emphasis on cultural variation frequently contrasts collectivist and individualistic cultural systems.
  • Learning Objectives  Learning Objectives, paired with one of the subsections of the chapter, are introduced on the first page of the chapter. The Learning Objectives reappear in the margin next to their corresponding chapter sub-section, and in the end-of-chapter summary. The Learning Objectives (described above) help students organize and retain the material as they read the textbook by informing them of the key information they are expected to take away from that section of the chapter. The Learning Objectives help you, instructor assess student learning outcomes because they are tied to each of the test items in the accompany test bank. 

  • Vignettes Each chapter begins with a compelling vignette, which engages readers’ interest in the chapter’s topic.

  • Margin Glossary All boldfaced terms in the text are defined in the margins as well as in a glossary at the end of the book. 

  • Developmental Science in the Real World Every chapter includes a boxed discussion of the application of scientific knowledge to a practical question. The intent of these discussions is to show students not only that it is possible to study applied questions with scientific methods, but also that all the theory and research they are reading about may have some relevance to their own lives. To facilitate this goal, each Developmental Science in the Real World box begins with a brief vignette about a parenting issue and ends with questions for reflection, which encourage readers to apply the ideas in the box to that issue.
  • Thinking About Research Every chapter includes a boxed discussion of a particularly important study or series of studies. Each Research Report ends with two questions for critical analysis, which encourage readers to critically evaluate the findings presented in the box.

  • Think Critically Questions The critical thinking questions at the end of the chapter encourage students to relate information in the text to their own personal experiences

  • Conduct Your Own Research Each chapter ends with a feature that gives readers instructions for either replicating the findings of a developmental study in an informal way or finding out more about a specific topic.
  • Summary Summaries are organized by major chapter heading and include bulleted entries summarizing the information that follows each subheading.
