Description

 “Well-Written and concepts are well explained. Cultural Approach is evident throughout.”

          –Dr Wallace Smith, Union County College

 

 “The writing style is engaging, especially in the opening stories and all concepts are clearly explained.”

          –Colleen Fawcett, Palm Beach State College

 

 “The writing style is engaging. It is straightforward, factual and descriptive without being overwhelming in the volume of concepts trying to be addressed. Sections connect to each other, using supporting features to link one to another. The author has gone out of the way to indicate where related concepts were discussed in previous chapters.”

         -Carrie Dale, Eastern Illinois University

 

 “Child Development: A Cultural Approach (chapter 7 only) provides the student with an overview of the development of children in middle childhood while comparing the development to children from other cultures and countries. The text is easy to read, making it easy for students to stay engaged and understand the content.”

          –April Grace, Madisonville Community Colege

 

 “I would seriously consider this book for my developmental psychology course which has as its focus birth through adolescence. This book appears to provide the element of culture which is absent from other text books.”

          –Randolph Manning, Suffolk County Community College

Help students understand how culture impacts development – and why it matters.

Through current research and examples from around the world, Arnett/Maynard’s Child Development provides students with a more accurate and practical understanding of how development works in the real world. Whether they travel the globe or remain in their home towns, students will benefit from being able to think culturally about human development and our culturally diverse and globalized world. New U.S. and international videos, shot in several countries, allow students to observe similarities and differences in human development across cultures.

MyDevelopmentLab is an integral part of the Arnett/Maynard program. Key learning applications include a personalized study plan, MyDevelopmentLab Video Series, and MyVirtualChild.

HELP STUDENTS UNDERSTAND HOW CULTURE IMPACTS DEVELOPMENT AND WHY IT MATTERS.

  • “Child Development is the first book to take a cultural approach and integrate cross-cultural examples throughout. The vast majority of instructors believe that integrating culture is essential to a complete understanding of child development, and go through considerable effort to bring culture into their course. Students simply find culture fascinating. Arnett and Maynard save time for instructors and meet students where they are by including culture on every page, integrated throughout the narrative.
  • Thinking Culturally questions throughout the text prompt students to use their understanding of the role culture plays in development to solve real world problems they might face in their own lives and careers. Sample answers are provided in the Instructor’s Manual.
  • Cultural Focus features offer in-depth coverage of development in a non-U.S. culture. Each Cultural Focus feature also includes a “locator” map that places the culture being discussed in its larger geographic context
  • Historical Focus features examine developmental science in its historical context to show how our views towards different stages of development change over time. This helps students see that “culture” is not a static notion, but rather one that has changed and continues to evolve.
  • Infographic Maps in every chapter provide a quick and effective way for students to visualize cultural, socioeconomic and geopolitical variations in development, as well help students gain a better understanding of similarities and differences across the U.S. and around the world. Questions included with each map encourage students to think critically about the information.

  • Instructor’s Manual, written and compiled by Peggy Skinner (South Plains College), included a career based supplement, with discussion launchers focused on teaching nursing, social work, and counseling. Each chapter offers integrated teaching outlines, lists of the key terms for each chapter for quick reference, and included an extensive bank of lecture launches, handouts, activities, and suggestions for integrating third-party videos and web resources. Answers to the in-text features Applying Your Knowledge, Thinking Culturally, and What Have You Learned? are provided, as well as answers to each chapter’s Video Guide. The electronic format features “click-and-view” hotlinks that allow instructors to quickly review or print any resource relating to a particular chapter.

The rationales help instructors reviewing the content to further evaluate the questions they are choosing for their tests. Rationales also help instructors address any questions students may have about specific questions they answered incorrectly on the test.
    The test bank has been class tested at both 2-year and 4-year schools prior to publication, with the resulting item analysis used to revise test items as needed. Whenever available, item analysis data is provided with the test item in the test bank to assist instructors as they create tests and quizzes for their course.

Instructors can easily access existing questions and then edit, create, and store using simple drag-and-drop and Word-like controls. Data on each question provides information relevant to difficulty level and page number. In addition, each question maps to the text’s major section and learning objective. For more information go to www.PearsonMyTest.com.
  • The MyDevelopmentLab Question Library provides over 2,400 test items in the form of Pre-Tests, Post-Tests, and Chapter Exams. These questions are parallel forms of questions found in the instructor test bank, ensuring that students using MyDevelopmentLab for review and practice will find their tests to be of similar tone and difficulty, while protecting the integrity of the instructor test bank.
  • Lecture PowerPoint Slides written by Julie McIntyre (Russell Sage College) offer detailed outlines of key points for each chapter supported by selected visuals from the textbook. A separate Art and Figure version of these presentation slides contain all art from the textbook for which Pearson has been granted electronic permissions.
  • Classroom Response System (CRS) PowerPoint Slides: These class lecture and discussion slides incorporate CRS “clicker” questions that process student responses and interpret them instantly.
  • Video Embedded PowerPoints on DVD, allow instructors to seamlessly integrate videos into their lectures without the need for internet access.
  • Class Preparation on MyDevelopmentLab makes lecture preparation easier and less time-consuming! Pearson has collected the very “best of” instructor resources, including art and figures from our leading texts, videos, lecture activities, classroom activities, demonstrations and much more. Instructors are able to search through this extensive database by content topic or by content type (video, audio, simulation, word documents). Class Preparation allows instructors to select resources appropriate for lecture, many of which can be downloaded directly. Instructors can tag the online resources however they want, build their own folder of resources, and run their in class presentation from within the ClassPrep program.
  • The MyDevelopmentLab Cross-Cultural Videos, filmed in the United States, Mexico, and Bostsawana, and guided by series editor Ashley Maynar (University of Hawaii, Manoa) with important contributions from Bianca Dahl (Brown University), show how culture impacts development. Video guides, authored by Carol Miller of Anne Arundel Community College, at the end of every chapter section provide discussion questions to connect the videos with chapter content. Videos are available in multiple formats: on the MyDevelopmentLab Video Series instructor’s DVD (ISBN: 0205063721), tied to quizzes in MyDevelopmentLab, and linked to QR codes in the book to enable students to access the videos directly from their smart phones. Answers to discussion questions are available in the Instructors Manual.
