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.
