Case Studies: Santrock's Educational Psychology continues to offer the most cases of any text – three cases per chapter (one in the text and two more available through PrepCenter).
The Learning System: Long a hallmark of the text, the Learning System centers on learning goals that, together with the main text headings, keep the key ideas in front of the reader from the beginning to the end of the chapter. The System is newly enhanced with in-chapter graphic organizers that offer simple maps of the chapter content. These sections are paired with Review, Reflect, and Practice sections that prompt students to review the key topics in the section and poses a question to encourage them to think critically about what they have read. In addition the Review and Reflect section also includes multiple-choice questions that give students an opportunity to practice answering the types of questions that are on state standards-based tests.
