Designed for beginning teachers, this text introduces the teacher as "reflective decision maker," responsible for planning, implementing, evaluating, and making management decisions in the classroom. Each chapter considers a particular teaching skill, first discussing the theory behind it, and then presenting the reader with practice situations in which knowledge about the skill can be applied and evaluated.T he Eighth Edition continues to address the importance of core INTASC standards, and highlights developing issues including the "Digital Divide," the use of personal digital assistants (PDAs) in and outside of the classroom, cooperative learning, and dealing with behavioral issues.
College Algebra provides students who need a solid understanding of algebra with an excellent start. It encourages student understanding of algebra through the use of modelling techniques and real-data applications. Although it is optional, the use of technology in the text is carefully integrated throughout. The 4th edition continues in this vein with completely updated data and a new student CD-ROM packaged with every text. Highlights of this fourth edition include: - Updated! Chapter Openers and Chapter Projects - Section Openers now include a set of learning objectives for each section - Chapter P has been streamlined and moved to the appendix (Appendix A) - Real Data Application examples have been updated or replaced with new applications - Technology Boxes rewritten in order to be more generic in the third edition - Exercise Sets Changes include new (or additional) skill exercises and updated applications - Chapter Summaries have been rewritten to link the section objectives to the Review Exercises
The organization of the text treats chemistry as an experimental subject by beginning with observable, macroscopic chemistry and later moving to the quantum mechanical theory that provides the underpinning of modern chemistry. Features: * The text emphasises the applications of chemistry to situations in everyday life, and on organic chemistry examples where appropriate. * End-of-chapter problems test students on the boxed topics as well as on the rest of the text. * Macroscopic before Microscopic material explains the observables of chemistry before giving theoretical underpinnings. New to this edition: * Cumulative Problems require students to assimilate and apply concepts. * "Chemistry in Your Life" essays show the relevance of studying chemistry to everyday events. * New molecular art improves the three-dimensional effect.
Psychology encompasses a broad range of inquiry, from the operation of the brain to complex social and intra-psychic interactions. Incorporating the most current techniques and findings in the field, this comprehensive introduction offers a thorough treatment of contemporary psychology. Its detailed coverage of methods of psychological research is integrated into discussions of each major topic, which gives students a firmer grasp of current psychological inquiry and research by placing reseach methodologies in context. In addition, it discusses the historical development and present status of theoretical topics and empirical phenomena. Topical coverage implements a "levels of analysis approach" to enhance students' understanding of each topic and to integrate their grasp of the different perspectives in psychology.

It offers a hands-on approach to learning statistics through 22 student experiments and real-world problems and exercises. The author provides pointers to ways in which statistical software packages, as well as scientific and graphics calculators, can be used by students to perform time-consuming computations while helping them to better focus on the concepts. Exercises are based on data taken from business, psychology, health, medicine, sports and other areas.
