Handbook for Teaching Introductory Psychology: Volume Ii de Michelle Rae Hebl

Handbook for Teaching Introductory Psychology: Volume Ii

Editat de Michelle Rae Hebl, Charles L. Brewer, Ludy T. Benjamin, Jr.
en Limba Engleză Paperback – aug 2001
Like its predecessors, Volume III of the Handbook for Teaching Introductory Psychology provides introductory psychology instructors with teaching ideas and activities that can immediately be put into practice in the classroom. It contains an organized collection of articles from Teaching of Psychology (TOP), the official journal of the Society for the Teaching of Psychology, Division 2 of the American Psychological Association. Volume III contains 89 articles from TOP that have not been included in other volumes. Another distinction between this volume and its predecessors is its emphasis on testing and assessment.

The book is divided into two sections. Section One, "Issues and Approaches in Teaching Introductory Psychology," contains 52 articles on critical issues, such as: how to approach the course; understanding students' interests, perceptions, and motives; students' existing knowledge of psychology (including their misconceptions); a comparison of introductory textbooks and tips on how to evaluate them; test questions and student factors affecting exam performance; an overview of different forms of feedback; giving extra credit; and how to deal with academic dishonesty.

Section Two consists of 37 articles that present demonstrations, class and laboratory projects, and other techniques to enhance teaching and learning in both the introductory, as well as advanced courses in the discipline. This section is organized so as to parallel the order of topics found in most introductory psychology textbooks.

Intended for academicians who teach the introductory psychology course and/or oversee grad assistants who teach the course, all royalties of the book go directly to the Society for the Teaching of Psychology to promote its activities to further improve the teaching of psychology.

"Anyone who teaches introductory psychology will find many things useful and provocative here."
—Ashton Trice

"The quality of the articles/scholarship is high. Teaching of Psychology is a well-respected journal and Griggs has done a good job compiling a nice set of selections. I would recommend such a volume for new faculty or GTAs....Richard Griggs is a respected authority in the field of psychology teaching so his perspective should be a valuable one."
