Opis

This book uses psychological theories and learning processes, such as Problem Based Learning (PBL), to provide a new approach for teaching psychology at an undergraduate level and prevent diminishing motivation. It creates a detailed example of a psychology degree using the PBL method and suggests how a week of the course could be planned.

Recenzje

"Papageorgiou et al. suggest that psychology programs develop curriculums that model the way medical training programs teach their students. ... Psychology for Psychologists is a text that would be most appropriate for college educators in psychology and related disciplines, such as education." (Ngoc H. Bui, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 61 (2), January, 2016)
