The content of the book should interest anyone involved in education and learning, from volunteers in nurseries to teachers in a community program for adults with disabilities.

This book includes minimal technical terminology, focusing on educational conclusions and the applications of research on child development, cognitive science, learning, motivation, teaching, and assessment, combined with insightful explorations of emerging trends in the field and in society that affect learning, such as student diversity, inclusion of students with special learning needs, education and neuroscience, educational policy, and technology.

The book presents how information and ideas derived from research in educational psychology can be applied in practice, contributing to solving the everyday problems that arise in the teaching process.

Each chapter presents two viewpoints on a controversial issue, providing specific applications of the theories or principles examined, realistic scenarios from classrooms, concise and useful teaching principles based on research.

Additionally, there are many examples, lesson excerpts, case studies, guidelines, and practical tips from a number of experienced teachers.
