1) excellent text and great service from Amazon!   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This is a well written, creaive and comprehensive text. Amazon provided excellent customer service as well. Thanks.

2) Well...   [Rating: 4 out of 5]
This book is full of interesting information, but I think most of it is information that isn't very useful for regular Education majors. If you're going to be a school counselor or psychologist though, this book would be a great investment for you.

3) Looking for Amazon to list new edition   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This book is required for a class I am taking, but the school states this book is in the 5th ed. as of 2005. I will wait for the updated version. The school is selling it for $118.50.

4) Educational Psychology book review   [Rating: 3 out of 5]
I purchased this book because it was mandatory for an education class I was taking. It was very helpful and useful in terms of my class but I don't think I would have purchased it on my own. Not to say that the book did not have lots of good information in it, but it depends on what you are interested in learning about.

5) Inside the learning mind....   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I found this book to be very informitive in how the mind works and respect to how people learn. I have improved my personal study habits because after reading this book I realized that I was not using the most effective way of keeping things in my long term memory. This book gives a detailed explanation with real life examples of how to approach situations as a teacher or parent who wants to know the inner tickings of the developing learner. If you are more concerned with toddlers though this book only briefly touches on them. This book deals more with school age children. If I were to try and write a review that this book deserves, I would be writing all night. I know that the description of this book is written above and I believe it to be a really good description of the book. I will agree though that this book answers all of the aspects of teaching, learning and the classroom as well as the many theories and approaches to educational psychology.
