Children (14th Edition) – John Santrock – eBook

Santrock’s Children, 14th Edition (PDF/ePub) provides an overview of children’s development, from biological beginnings through early childhood and infancy to adolescence. By highlighting the connections among different aspects of development, the textbook helps college students to better understand the concepts covered. With the help of several experts in the field, John Santrock discusses real-world applications and current research, helping university students see how developmental psychology plays a role in their own lives and future careers. Additionally, through an integrated, personalized digital learning program, students gain the insight they need to study smarter and improve performance.

The Milestones video program shows many students what developmental concepts look like by letting them watch actual humans develop. Students are able to track several individuals starting from infancy and watch them achieve major developmental milestones, both cognitively and physically.

Reaching Today’s Learners

Today’s college students are as different in some ways from the learners of the last generation as today’s discipline of child development is different from the field 3 decades ago. Students now learn in multiple modalities; rather than sitting down and reading traditional printed chapters in linear fashion from beginning to end, their work preferences tend to be more interactive and more visual, and their reading and study often occur in short bursts. For many undergrad students, a traditionally formatted printed textbook is no longer enough when they have instant, 24/7 access to news and information from around the globe. Two features that specifically support today’s students are the adaptive ebook (SmartBook) and the Learning Goals System (not included in this sale).

New to This 14th Edition

Students helped inform the revision strategy of Children. Content revisions are informed by data collected anonymously through McGraw-Hill’s SmartBook; the data pinpoint the concepts that give students the most difficulty.

Additional changes include the following:

• This Fourteenth edition places further emphasis on culture and diversity.
• New content highlights the increasing use of e-cigarettes during pregnancy.
• Identity issues, in particular, transgender and gender, are explored more in-depth.
• The latest research features more than 1,200 newly added citations from 2016, 2017, and 2018.
• The textbook now features a discussion on how infant growth is not smooth and continuous but rather is episodic, occurring in spurts.
