Introduction to Human Development and Family ScienceWydanie 2

Now in its second edition, Introduction to Human Development and Family Science was the first text to introduce human development and family studies (HDFS) as inextricably linked areas of study. Pioneers of research paradigms have acknowledged that the family is one setting in which human development occurs, and much work is inherently multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary. This book helps to fortify an understanding of HDFS and subareas within it.
Key features include:

• Chapters aligned with Certified Family Life Educator (CFLE) Guidelines.
• An applied focus, with vignettes exploring diverse family structures and human experience, a brand-new appendix with helpful tips to encourage the effective utilization of research.
• Discussion of the wide variety of career paths for HDFS students.
• Rich pedagogical features, including Challenge: Integration sections, bringing together content from all chapters; Journal Questions, encouraging reflection on content as well as personal experience; and Suggested Resources, listing relevant websites, books, articles, and video links for further study.

Incredibly user-friendly, this is essential reading for students new to Human Development and Family Science.

A fully developed Instructor and Student Website includes flashcards, self-testing quizzes, and discussion questions for students, as well as activities, lecture slides, test banks, and video recommendations for instructors.
