Infants and Children in Context is an introductory text for child development that focuses on application of the information, an emphasis on context including culture, and also incorporates updated research on how the brain develops and influences development.
Tara L. Kuther has written a textbook that captures the most current aspects of developmental science with its emphasis on context and both current and classic studies of human development, while also managing to include opportunities for students to apply this new knowledge to their own lives. The textbook is visually engaging and will also help students learn the material with several helpful meta-cognitive features, such as Thinking in Context and Apply Your Knowledge.
An easily understandable text that engages students in active learning.
She [Tara Kuther] is very thoughtful in how she presents the materials in her books and PowerPoints, and it makes the job of the instructor that much easier.
This book takes foundational knowledge and applies it to real world situations that I think students would enjoy learning about. The book is easy to read for students and will likely maintain their attention and focus.
