Feldman, University of Massachusetts at Amherst.
Utilizing a flexible, modular organization, author Robert Feldman covers the life span chronologically and focuses on physical, cognitive, and social and personality development within each stage of life. The 5th Edition more prominently highlights the impact of culture on development and places more emphasis on the application of multiple perspectives when studying development.
Fully digital and highly engaging, Revel replaces the textbook and gives students everything they need for the course. Informed by extensive research on how people read, think, and learn, Revel is an interactive learning environment that enables students to read, practice, and study in one continuous experience — for less than the cost of a traditional textbook. Learn more about Revel. A modular approach makes lifespan development manageable and meaningful Author Robert Feldman uses a modular approach to optimize student learning.
Each chapter is divided into three modules, and in turn each module is divided into several smaller sections to break the material into smaller, more manageable chunks. In addition, this modular approach offers instructors more flexibility in how they assign text material, enabling them to easily emphasize their preferred theoretical or topical approach to lifespan development. In a unique departure from traditional lifespan development texts, each chapter integrates the physical, cognitive, and social and personality domains within each chronological period.
Chapters begin with a compelling story about an individual representing the age period covered, and chapters end by refocusing on that individual and integrating the three domains. Student-focused content and pedagogical tools boost understanding and retention Chapter-opening prologues tell the story of an individual who is at the developmental stage covered by the chapter. The material in the prologue sets the stage for the chapter, and the prologue is revisited at the end of the chapter when the physical, cognitive, and social and personality aspects are integrated.
Module-opening vignettes describe an individual or situation that is relevant to the basic developmental issues being addressed in the module. Learning objectives at the beginning of every subsection clearly specify what students are expected to master after reading and studying the material.
Topics discussed include about preschools around the world, gay and lesbian relationships, the marketing of cigarettes to the less advantaged, and race, gender, and ethnic differences in life expectancy. Development in Your Life features present information on specific uses that can be derived from research conducted by developmental investigators.
A running glossary helps students stay on top of key terms, which are defined in the margins of the page on which they are presented. At the end of each chapter, the prologue is recapped and addressed from the three domains of physical, cognitive, and social and personality development. In addition, questions about the prologue are posed from the perspective of people such as parents, nurses, and educators. New and updated material keeps the text current and engaging NEW - A stronger emphasis on culture throughout the 5th Edition emphasizes the important impact of culture on development.
For example, Chapter 1 discusses how various theorists would study the Ruiz family, profiled in the chapter opener. NEW - Engaging chapter-opening photos represent the content to follow. NEW - The 5th Edition offers expanded and new coverage of advances in areas such as behavioral genetics, brain development, evolutionary perspectives, and cross-cultural approaches to development.
NEW - Hundreds of new citations have been added, mostly from articles and books published in the last few years. NEW - Contemporary topics have been added to every chapter to ensure that the text remains current. Highlights of new and revised topics include: A new section on assessing cognitive neuroscience approaches New guidelines on drugs during delivery from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists New statistics on social media use and video games New material on emerging adulthood New drug therapies for extending life Dynamic content designed for the way today's students read, think, and learn brings concepts to life Videos and interactives integrated directly into the author-created narrative keep students engaged as they read through each chapter.
Embedded assessments such as quizzes and concept checks afford students opportunities to check their understanding at regular intervals before moving on.
Assessments in Revel let instructors gauge student comprehension frequently, provide timely feedback, and address learning gaps along the way. The Revel mobile app lets students read, practice, and study — anywhere, anytime, on any device.
Content is available both online and offline, and the app syncs work across all registered devices automatically, giving students great flexibility to toggle between phone, tablet, and laptop as they move through their day.
The app also lets students set assignment notifications to stay on top of all due dates. The Revel audio playlist lets students listen and learn as they go. The writing functionality in Revel enables educators to integrate writing — among the best ways to foster and assess critical thinking — into the course without significantly impacting their grading burden. Self-paced Journaling Prompts throughout the narrative encourage students to express their thoughts without breaking stride in their reading.
Assignable Shared Writing Activities direct students to share written responses with classmates, fostering peer discussion. Essays integrated directly within Revel allow instructors to assign the precise writing tasks they need for the course. Highlighting, note taking, and a glossary let students read and study however they like. Educators can add notes for students, too, including reminders or study tips.
Superior assignability, tracking, and pedagogical tools help educators make sure students are completing their reading and understanding core concepts The assignment calendar allows educators to indicate precisely which readings must be completed on which dates. This clear, detailed schedule helps students stay on task by eliminating any ambiguity as to which material will be covered during each class. When they understand exactly what is expected of them, students are better motivated to keep up.
The performance dashboard empowers educators to monitor class assignment completion as well as individual student achievement. Actionable information, such as points earned on quizzes and tests and time on task, helps educators intersect with their students in meaningful ways. For example, the trending column reveals whether students' grades are improving or declining, helping educators to identify students who might need help to stay on track.
With single sign-on, students can be ready to access an interactive blend of authors' narrative, media, and assessment on their first day. Flexible, on-demand grade synchronization capabilities allow educators to control exactly which grades should be transferred to their LMS Gradebook.
Revel is built for digital learning, but we've got you covered if you need print, too Revel gives students everything they need in an integrated digital learning environment. But if students need a loose-leaf print reference to complement their Revel experience, they can purchase one from within their Revel course at any time.
