In teaching undergraduate psychology, both new and experienced instructors are eager to find ways to engage students in learning and generate excitement for the subject matter. This valuable instructional resource presents a framework for constructing undergraduate psychology curricula to meet all of these objectives, while ensuring maximum flexibility across faculty, student, and institutional differences.
Promoting active and enduring learning within a constructivist educational context, this book links successful teaching practices to five APA-approved learning goals - knowledge base of psychology, research methods, critical thinking skills, application of psychology, and values - and the behaviorally stated outcomes associated with each.
