PSY 1031: Psychology in the Classroom

Across our years of schooling we experience different teaching styles, develop preferences for classroom activities and exam formats, and try out various studying strategies. But what has psychological science shown to be most effective in the classroom? In this course we will survey research from educational and cognitive psychology to discuss effective strategies for both teaching and learning. Topics will include age-appropriate teaching strategies, innovations such as flipped classrooms, and implications for educational policy issues, including socio-economic education gaps, remote learning, and standardized testing.
