The Teaching of Psychology is centered around the masterful work
of two champions of the teaching of psychology, Wilbert J.
McKeachie and Charles L. Brewer, in order to recognize their
seminal contributions to the teaching of the discipline. The book's
main goal is to provide comprehensive coverage and analysis of the
basic philosophies, current issues, and the basic skills related to
effective teaching in psychology. It transcends the typical "nuts
and bolts" type books and includes such topics as teaching at small
colleges versus a major university, teaching and course portfolios,
the scholarship of teaching, what to expect early in a teaching
career, and lifelong learning.
The Teaching of Psychology also features:
- Biographies of Bill McKeachie and Charles L. Brewer
- Fourteen chapters written by leading authorities in the
teaching of psychology, which provide overviews of the latest
psychological research and theories in effective college and
university teaching. These chapters cover lecturing, classroom
presence, using humor in teaching, pedagogy, advising, teaching
critical thinking, writing, and technology, and training graduate
students to teach
- Useful advice to new teachers and seasoned veterans, including
qualities of master teachers, understanding the many facets of
working within the academy, and teaching with technology
- Insights into teaching specific courses within the psychology
curriculum, including the history of psychology, biological
psychology, statistics and research methods, learning, social
psychology, personality, psychology of women, cross-cultural
psychology, industrial/organizational psychology, psychology of
religion, and environmental psychology
- A closing section containing Bill McKeachie's and Charles L.
Brewer's perspectives into the teaching of psychology and its
history, highlights, and future.
This book is intended for academic psychologists who teach
and/or train graduate assistants to teach at the college and
university level. All royalities from this book will be donated to
the Society for the Teaching of Psychology (Division 2 of the
American Psychological Association), which each year sponsors many
activities across the country to promote the teaching of
psychology.
