Course descriptionCourse description

Educational Psychology is a course designed to introduce psychological principles as they apply to teaching and learning. It is the required course in the core sequence for the bachelor degree in psychology and is an compulsory course in the BA degree programs. Psychology majors who want to apply for a teacher’s professional qualification must be enrolled in this course, if they have not already done so.

Principles of the coursePrinciples of the course

From Chinese to bilingual instruction to English instruction

Memory – understanding- application- generation

Active and self-regulated learning plus cooperative learning

Learning and instruction modelsLearning and instruction models This course will be taught using diverse methods. Traditio

nal reading of the text and lecture/discussion will be used, however, this will be done in a student-centered fashion so that both the students and the instructor are engaged in a dialogue and a process of discovery about "truths" in the application of psychology to teaching. More progressive methods will also be used in this course.  "Labs" will be used so that students will engage in Problem Based Learning.  Students will use technology to apply psychology theory, not only to earn a grade for this course, but also to solve real-world educational problems.

COURSE GOALSCOURSE GOALS

By the end of the course, students should be able to: ⑴develop an appreciation of the role of

educational psychology in answering practical problems in education.

⑵state the characteristics of students at different grade levels by studying the many facets of human development, explain their implications for learning and instructional design.

COURSE GOALSCOURSE GOALS((continuedcontinued))

⑶describe individual differences and problems of adjustment in the classroom in an attempt to answer the questions such as "Why do some students learn more than others?" and arrange these in the form of a model of the teaching/ learning process.

⑷describe the major theories of  learning and apply them to classroom planning, management and instruction; discuss the difficulties teachers face when putting educational/psychological theory into practice.

COURSE GOALSCOURSE GOALS((continuedcontinued))

⑸explain what motivates students' behavior and how to facilitate and motivate students' learning.

AttendanceAttendance

There is a strong correlation between class attendance and college success. Class involvement enables students to learn more actively and effectively; therefore, class attendance is essential.and will be counted by signing the roll sheet every class day.  Students who have perfect attendance will receive 15 points. If missing four classes or more, whether it is for “excused” or “unexcused” reasons, the absences will result in an automatic FLUNK in course.

Discussions and Lectures Discussions and Lectures

Students will be broken into small groups at the beginning of the semester and engage in discussions about topics important to educational psychology on various days throughout the semester. They will be required to write brief journals as a reaction to in-class discussions about the readings, and those who read the required readings carefully, participate in the discussions actively, and think critically about the topics, will get good mark.

Field ExperienceField Experience

The course requirement is that students spend 4 clock hours as aides to teachers in the public school system. The hours spent are in regular classroom settings which contain primary or middle school students. At the end of the semester, the teachers for whom student aides have worked will be asked to complete an evaluation of each student's performance in the classroom. This evaluation will be considered in determining the course grade.

ExamsExams

There will be 2 "in-class" exams throughout the semester. One is mid-term exam, another is final exam. Exams will consist of multiple choice, matching, short answer and essay type questions, and will cover material covered in the lecture and in the text. The exams will NOT be tests of rote memorization; rather, they will test students’ knowledge through application, analysis, synthesis and evaluation of the course material. The exams will also assess students’ ability to apply the information they have learned in class to real-world situation. 

Make-Up Exam PolicyMake-Up Exam Policy

Make-up exams are only offered if students miss an exam due to EXTENUATING circumstances and have WRITTEN DOCUMENTATION to support your absence.  Minor illnesses such as colds and headaches do not constitute extenuating circumstances.  Make-up exams will be essay (not the same thing as short-answer), must be cleared with instructor prior to the date of the exam.  Students who fail to show up for an exam and/or do not get permission to take a make-up will receive a zero for that exam.
