PSY8110 The Teaching of Psychology
Learners analyze the psychological basis of post-secondary instruction in psychology and other social sciences through the application of psychological and learning theories and research findings. Learners examine post-secondary education in face-to-face and online environments, including use of technology in education for learners 18 years and older, and consider the differences for adult learners over the age of 25. Throughout the course, learners gain an understanding of effective teaching and assessment strategies and classroom management practices. Learners identify how adaptable teaching practices and instructional decision-making impact learning. Learners also reflect on their professional skills and self-efficacy in teaching a wide variety of populations.
