Описание: Now updated for its second edition, this illuminating textbook explores the developmental stages during adulthood which define some of the most pivotal and formative years of our entire lives. Discussing the experiences which shape these years – love, parenthood, life crises, fulfilment, funerals, friendships, retirement, birth and death – the book considers their psychological consequences and asks how they can be reliably described, explained and understood in psychological research. Taking a thematic approach, Oliver Robinson expertly guides the reader through the interdependent areas of our cognitive, psychological, social, cultural and moral lives that constitute this fascinating area in psychology. This book delivers an interdisciplinary understanding of the changes that occur across the human life span as well as the psychological research tools needed to measure them. Providing an empirical analysis, it considers models for understanding behaviour and development, methods of collecting data and study design. Academically rigorous and elegantly written, Development through Adulthood is the perfect guide to classic and current research in the field. It is essential reading for students studying adult or lifespan development, gerontology and the psychology of ageing. It will also appeal to those studying an applied social science, and anyone interested in fully understanding adulthood and ageing.

Описание: Children's Learning and Development: Contemporary assessment in the early years is an introduction to early childhood learning and the what, why and how of assessment for diverse learners. Assessment has become a key part of the developments for the Early Years Learning Framework in Australia and Te Wh?riki in New Zealand. Assessment has several important purposes, including: - Informing what and how teachers plan learning experiences - Identifying areas of learning and development where children may need support or extensions - Integrating learning with curriculum and program provision Children's Learning and Development explores assessment through historical theories, philosophies and beliefs, social and cultural contexts, individual differences, and provides information on current assessment tools. These tools include national standardised testing, school entry assessments and international benchmark testing such as PIRLS and PISA. It also discusses how early years assessment is approached and understood within Australian and New Zealand frameworks and how we compare to international curriculum documents from countries such as the US, the UK, Sweden and Singapore. With the aid of teacher reflections, case studies and pedagogical features such as reflection points, key terms and useful resources, Children's Learning and Development is a must have resource for all early childhood education students and practitioners. Key Features • Discusses how early years assessment is approached and understood within a range of international curriculum documents. • Boxes containing teacher reflections and case studies throughout the text help students place learning in context. • Current assessment tools in use in Australian and New Zealand are examined, including national standardised testing, school entry assessments and international benchmarking testing such as PIRLS and PISA.
