The Oxford Handbook of Undergraduate Psychology Education is dedicated to providing comprehensive coverage of teaching, pedagogy, and professional issues in psychology. The Handbook is designed to help psychology educators at each stage of their careers, from teaching their first courses and developing their careers to serving as department or program administrators. The goal of the Handbook is to provide teachers, educators, researchers, scholars, and administrators in psychology with current, practical advice on course creation, best practices in psychology pedagogy, course content recommendations, teaching methods and classroom management strategies, advice on student advising, and administrative and professional issues, such as managing one's career, chairing the department, organizing the curriculum, and conducting assessment, among other topics. The primary audience for this Handbook is college and university-level psychology teachers (at both two and four-year institutions) at the assistant, associate, and full professor levels, as well as department chairs and other psychology program administrators, who want to improve teaching and learning within their departments. Faculty members in other social science disciplines (e.g., sociology, education, political science) will find material in the Handbook to be applicable or adaptable to their own programs and courses.
The heart of the book, and its major contribution, is the third section on how to teach 26 individual courses. . . The best of these chapters provide concrete help in identifying content objectives, ideas about innovative teaching techniques and assessment methods, and lists of resources while, at the same time, providing a meaningful abstract discussion of how to connect course material to students lives and societal issues. * Bruce B. Henderson, Professor of psychology at Western Carolina University, in PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 61, No. 4, January 2016 *
This is an excellent book for everyone, and every psychology teacher should have a copy of it. * Laxmi Chaandi, Biz India *
