PSYCHOLOGY
This course surveys contemporary theories of students' learning and
motivation as grounds for models of instruction. The focus of the course is
binocular. Through one lens, the course presents and critically examines
research as one basis for a scientific discipline of educational psychology.
Through a second lens, the course looks for information that can guide the
practice of teaching.
Major topics addressed are: basic theories of learning, achievement
motivation, intrinsic motivation, attribution theory, anxiety, cognitive
development, learning and thinking strategies, learning in subject areas
(reading, writing, mathematics, science), classroom processes and teacher
expectancy effects, evaluating learning outcomes, and individual differences.
PREREQUISITE: None.
REQUIRED TEXTS:
Travers, J.F. , Elliott, S.N. & Kratochwill, T.R. (1993).
