Each year, well over a million undergraduate students take an
introductory psychology course. This edited volume presents
recommendations for designing and teaching this important course.
The recommendations stem from an initiative of the American
Psychological Association, which seeks to make introductory
psychology a transformational experience for students. While some
students taking the course will become psychology majors or even
psychologists, most will pursue other careers. Thus, successful
introductory psychology courses help students grow personally,
academically, and professionally with skills that will be valuable
for the rest of their lives, regardless of career. The book's
recommendations cover four key areas: course design, defining and
assessing student learning goals and outcomes, teacher training and
development, and student learning and transformation. Chapters
illustrate how to implement the recommendations in various
institutions, including public and private colleges and
universities, research universities, liberal arts colleges,
comprehensive universities, two-year colleges, and high school.
Given the diverse purposes served by the introductory psychology
course, this work is a must-have for every psychology department
and every person who teaches introductory psychology.
