EdPsych Modules by Cheryl Cisero Durwin and Marla Reese-Weber uses an innovative modular approach, integrating case studies drawn from real-life classroom situations to address the challenge of effectively connecting theory and research to practice. The text features succinct, stand-alone modules organized into themed units, offering the flexibility to tailor content to the specific needs of a course. Each unit opens with case studies written for early childhood, elementary, middle, and secondary classrooms, showing students the dynamics influencing the future students they plan to teach. All 25 modules highlight diversity, emphasizing how psychological factors adapt and change based on external influences such as sex, gender, race, language, disability status, and socioeconomic background. The Fifth Edition includes over seven hundred new references across all 25 modules, with thorough coverage of the latest developments in education, such as artificial intelligence, virtual reality, the latest neuroscience research, and updated coverage of disabilities.
