    Course Outline:
    The course is designed as an introduction concerned with the
    identification and study of educational issues and teaching conditions
    from a psychological point of view. It follows that Child Development,
    Learning, Motivation, Evaluation and Adjustment are topics of primary
    concern. However, these topics will not be treated in the more usual
    academic way but within a framework formed by the combination of:
    1)
    Competing psychological theories and their applicability in
    practice.
    2)
    Current criticisms of educational policy and practice.
    3)
    Major psychological points of view in education today (e.g.
    Piaget, Bruner, Maslow, Skinner and others).
    4)
    Recent studies of thinking - Convergent and Divergent.
    The objectives of the course are well stated by these statements
    taken and paraphrased from the introduction to the book of supplementary
    readings published to accompany the text.
    1) Observations intended to permit future teachers to formulate a
    tentative conception of the relationships between psychology
    and teaching.
    2)
    Advance the concept of a Teacher-Theorist and differing views
    of conceptions of human behaviour which influence theory and
    practice in education.
    3)
    Provide an opportunity for intensive study of the psychological
    bases of arguments for and against current educational policies.
    4) Stress the need to know about psycholo
    g ical issues in order to
    function effectively as a teacher and as a responsible critic of
    evaluation.
    5)
    Provide opportunity for the study and interpretation of recent
    research - content and techniques.
