INTERACTIVES MAKE LEARNING PSYCHOLOGY ENGAGING AND MEMORABLE
Interactives in each chapter address the concepts students struggle with most. Instead of passively reading a chapter, students move between explanations in the text to interactives that demonstrate the concept and build understanding. Research shows that interactive learning increases student interest, comprehension and retention of important concepts (Naceur & Schiefele, 2005).
IMPROVES STUDENTS’ READING COMPREHENSION AND STUDY SKILLS
Everything in Interactive Psychology, from the design to the content, is based on psychological research. Each chapter is comprised of brief modular study units that cognitively “chunk” the material to help students organise, learn and remember key concepts (Thalmann, Souza, & Oberauer, 2019). Chapter 1 includes four study units that introduce students to research-supported study skills, learning online and using an ebook. It also introduces concepts like note-taking and time management. InQuizitive, Norton’s adaptive quizzing tool, is based on research-backed psychological principles and uses game-like elements to motivate students and drive them back into the text when they need to review.
TRAINS STUDENTS TO BECOME SAVVY CONSUMERS OF MEDIA CLAIMS AND RESEARCH
Today’s students are inundated with fake news, misinformation and pseudoscience, and so it is essential that they learn how to evaluate information and think critically. Interactive Psychology teaches them how to become critical thinkers throughout the entire book, addressing questions like “How do I become a more informed consumer of psychological information?” and “How do I read and understand a research reference?”
HELPS STUDENTS BUILD EMPATHY AND UNDERSTANDING BY SEEING PEOPLE FROM NEW PERSPECTIVES
As implied by its subtitle, People in Perspective, the ebook encourages students to see themselves and others from multiple perspectives with the goal of building empathy and understanding. The inclusive narrative, art and interactives enable students across a wide array of identities to see themselves reflected in the content. The text and teaching materials demonstrate cultural sensitivity and diversity is represented in many facets (race, ethnicity, culture, sex, gender, sexual orientation, ability and physical and mental health).
HIGH QUALITY CONTENT AND TEACHING TOOLS FOR AN AFFORDABLE PRICE
Interactive Psychology is priced at a fraction of traditional textbooks and provides a standard of quality, innovation and value. Included in this low price is 360-day access to high quality content, interactives, videos and a robust suite of instructor resources all in one place—all created by our committed author team.
