Description
The perfect balance between science and pedagogy. Human Sexuality in a World of Diversity, 7e examines the rich diversity found in human sexuality and helps students develop their own opinions by promoting critical thinking skills, personal sexual health awareness, and responsible decision-making. Firmly rooted in science, the text systematically encourages students to apply the research to their own lives.
Features
Human Sexuality in a World of Diversity, 7e presents material in a scientific and rigorous manner that also stimulates learning and critical thinking.
Q: Do you favor an active-learning approach in your class? How can you help your students retain more of what they ready?
A: The text employs the PQ4R (Preview, Question, Read, Reflect, Review, and Recite) pedagogical method related to the work of educational psychologist Francis P. Robinson to stimulate students to engage the subject matter actively:
Q: Are your students sometimes afraid to ask a question because they think others will think it a “dumb” question?
A: A new feature, SafeZone, features real questions from actual college students, as posed to college instructors throughout the county, accompanied by the authors’ responses. SafeZone both answers some of the unasked questions, and helps students feel more comfortable asking their own questions. Additional SafeZone questions will appear on the book’s companion website.
Q: Do your students enter the course with preconceived ideas about human sexuality?
A: Every chapter opens with a “Truth or Fiction?” quiz that motivates students to challenge common sense, stereotypes, and folklore. Then throughout the chapter “Truth or Fiction Revisited” sections provide feedback to students regarding the accuracy of their assumptions in light of the evidence presented in the chapter.
Q: How aware are your students of the rich variety of human sexual customs and practices that exist outside of their own context?
A: A World of Diversity boxes help students better understand how cultural beliefs, values and attitudes can influence the expression of sexuality, and introduce them to cultural differences related to gender roles, sexual orientation, sexual jealousy, and premarital and extramarital sexual patterns.
Q: How do you encourage your students to take the material in the textbook and relate it to their lives?
Q: Are your students looking for concrete and practical applications of the research?
A: A Closer Look boxes provide in-depth discussions of scientific techniques and skill-building exercises such as “Breast Self-Examination,” Self-Examination of the Testes,” and “What to Do If You Suspect You Have Contracted an STD.”
Q: Are your students looking for additional help preparing for exams or writing papers?
A: MyPsychKit (www.mypsychkit.com) is a new online resource that provides a wealth of study tools for students to clarify and deepen their understanding of human sexuality. For each chapter of the Rathus textbook, students can access learning objectives, updated web links to additional sources of information, animations and simulations, videos, glossary flashcard, online practice tests, and Research Navigator, a complete resource for students conducting research assignments and/or writing a research paper.
