Using Pedagogical
Aids in a Textbook
Presenter: Karen Timberlake, an introductory chemistry textbook author
for more than 30 years
Saturday, June 23
10:45 - 11:45 a.m.
Preliminary conference schedule
Pedagogical aids
in a textbook can be used to stimulate interest in the subject, provide
motivation to study and learn content, and promote successful learning
strategies for students with different learning styles. Instructors
can also utilize pedagogical aids to augment teaching styles. This presentation
will present a variety of pedagogical aids that can be adapted to most
textbook styles. The authors in the audience will contribute ideas of
additional examples.
About the presenter
Karen Timberlake taught chemistry at Los Angeles Valley College for
36 years. She has been writing introductory chemistry textbooks for
more than 30 years. Her textbooks vary from 2nd editions to 9th editions
and she is preparing for a 10th edition. Her material for textbooks
is based on her teaching. A major feature of the Timberlake text is
the use of pedagogical aids to meet different learning styles of students
and different teaching styles of instructors.
