{"product_id":"2940012501523","title":"The Psychology of Academic Achievement","description":"Educational psychology has generated a prolific array of findings about factors that influence and correlate with academic achievement. We review select findings from this voluminous literature and identify two domains of psychology: heuristics that describe generic relations between instructional designs and learning, which we call the psychology of “the way things are,” and findings about metacognition and self-regulated learning that demonstrate learners selectively apply and change their use of those heuristics, which we call the psychology of “the way learners make things.” Distinguishing these domains highlights a need to marry two approaches to research methodology: the classical approach, which we describe as snapshot, bookend, between-group experimentation; and a microgenetic approach that traces proximal cause-effect bonds over time to validate theoretical accounts of how learning generates achievements. We argue for fusing these methods to advance a validated psychology of academic achievement.","brand":"Annual Reviews","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47073478508784,"sku":"2940012501523","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940012501523_p0.jpg?v=1763569405","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940012501523","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
