Problem-based learning is an approach to learning that continues to grow and develop and the variations in its use still tend to cause much debate in higher education. The idea for this book emerged out of discussions with colleagues about the need for the problem-based learning community to illustrate such variety in a research-based text. It is a book that does not present a single view about what counts as problem-based learning, nor does it offer ideal ways of undertaking it in a module, course or programme.
Before entering higher education, most students’ learning experiences have been traditional and teacher-centered. Their teachers have typically controlled their learning, with students having had little say about what and how to learn. For many students, encountering a learner-centered environment will be new, possibly unsettling, and may even engender resistance and hostility.
The best way to understand text is to think and talk about it. This NEW professional guide defines what purposeful talk is, why it is important, and how it increases comprehension. Students will be empowered to have meaningful discussions about texts as they implement the effective strategies modeled in this book. Research-based strategies promote building meaningful conversations with students Model lessons from real classrooms demonstrate how to utilize these effective approaches to get students thinking and talking about text Support is provided for teachers to design lessons and think through essential instructional elements that will ensure successful implementation and gradually release responsibility to students
Forensic psychology has mushroomed into a diverse and increasingly complex field that is equal parts law and psychology. Psychologists act as expert witnesses in legal cases - sometimes without knowing much about the laws involved, and legal professionals rely on the assessment of psychologists sometimes without knowing much about how such assessments are made.
The purpose of this handbook is to provide professionals with current, practical, and empirically based information to guide their work in forensic settings, or to better their understanding of the issues and debates in forensic psychology.
