Synopsis

"Psychology: Concepts and Applications" offers a concept-based approach, supported by a unique pedagogical framework. It provides a broad view of psychology that includes: history, methods or research, major theories and research findings, as well as applications of contemporary research to the problems and challenges faced in everyday life. Each chapter is organised into manageable instructional units that help students focus on one topic at a time, within the context of a larger chapter structure. Concept signalling, a pedagogical technique that highlights key concepts in the margins of the text, helps students to extract the main points (not merely key terms) from the narrative. As students read, the key concepts are reinforced through additional pedagogical features, such as Concept Charts, Module Reviews and Tying It Together. These features are designed and have proven to significantly improve students' retention of material and performance in class.
