Controversy in the Psychology Classroom – Using Hot Topics to Foster Critical Thinking

Autor Dana S. Dunn, Regan A. R. Gurung, Karen Z. Naufel, Janie H. Wilson
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 dec 2012
One of the hallmarks of a quality liberal arts education is providing undergraduates the opportunity to wrestle with controversial issues. Yet many teachers feel ill-equipped when it comes to broaching disagreeable topics, managing the resulting heated debates, or helping students to separate their personal feelings from scientific evidence.This book provides frameworks for teaching controversial topics and skills for handling disruptions, so teachers can help students evaluate evidence and develop testable questions.
