    COURSE DESCRIPTION:
    The focus in this course will be on the psychological principles underlying
    the
    instructional
    process. Three basic components will be discussed: how
    people learn, instructional procedures,
    intrapersonal
    and interpersonal
    influences.
    Relevant research will be discussed in such areas as:
    learning
    theory,
    information processing, child development, instructional strategies, evaluation,
    classroom management, individual differences, personality, self-concept and
    motivation. Course participants will derive
    information
    from four sources:
    two, one hour lecture-discussion periods per week, a one hour weekly seminar-
    tutorial, textbook readings, and suggested related readings assigned by the
    instructor and/or the seminar leader.
