, Introduction
This Instructor’s Manual is intended to add to the material presented in our text. We
hope you will find this material useful. For each chapter in the text you will find:
• Suggestions for classroom demonstrations, discussion topics, related research
and/or theory to the topics presented in the text are given and new information
(not found in the text) is also offered.
• Web sites are provided throughout the manual and are the ones that we
frequently use in class. They provide up to the minute information,
demonstrations, and often lead to vigorous discussions.
• Project descriptions and expansions. Each chapter contains a project that is
intended to promote active learning. Our expansions presented here make those
projects a bit larger by involving your entire class or adding extra activities.
• Premium Companion Website (password protected) Additional resources can
be found at www.mydevelopmentkit.com. These include audio interviews about
aging with adults from throughout the United States, practice tests, chapter
summaries, web links, and flashcards. For information on how to access these
resources, please contact your local Pearson representative.
Test Bank
This section contains 20-30 multiple-choice questions for each chapter in the text
plus several essay questions.
Other Information
Service learning is a valuable pedagogical technique that fits in well in
gerontology classes. Several studies have shown that service learning enhances
students’ understanding of course content and helps them gain further insights about
aging and older adults (see the special issue on service learning in Educational
Gerontology, 27, 2001). We have used service learning in both a formal, closely
monitored fashion and in a looser, more informal way. Either way has educational (as
seen in test answers and group discussions) and enjoyable (as seen in student
evaluations of projects) aspects. A surprise to us is the number of students who have
had little or no exposure to or experience with older persons. Service learning greatly
helps these students overcome fear and stereotypes and appreciate older persons as
real human beings. Many of our students have continued to volunteer after the
semester ended. We have incorporated a few ideas for service learning projects in this
manual.
