PSY8110 The Teaching of Psychology
Students 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. Students examine post-secondary education in face-to-face and online environments, including use of technology in education for students 18 years and older, and consider the differences for adult students over the age of 25. Throughout the course, students gain an understanding of effective teaching and assessment strategies and classroom management practices. Students identify how adaptable teaching practices and instructional decision-making impact learning. Students also reflect on their professional skills and self-efficacy in teaching a wide variety of populations.
