课程名称：心理学硕士（Master in Psychology） 课程概述：本课程旨在帮助学生理解心理学的重要性，并以行为为核心主题展开学习。我们发现心理学与学生生活密切相关，但之前的教学并未明确指出这一点。因此，我们增加了对行为的持续关注，这是心理学学科的基本整合原则之一。情感、认知和动机在心理学中至关重要，但通常需要通过与行为的联系来理解。 此外，交感神经系统对我们的行为具有特定且可预测的影响，皮亚杰的研究帮助我们理解儿童的行为，而社会认知则使我们在日常生活中更好地与他人相处。课程强调，表面上看似真实的事物可能并不真实，需要通过实证来验证。我们将心理学视为一门科学，通过实证研究检验可证伪的假设，有助于学生区分心理学与其他学科。 为促进这些学习成果，课程采用了三种技术来聚焦于行为： 1. 章节开篇：每章节以真实案例开篇，引入与行为相关的问题，激发学生的兴趣。 2. 心理学与日常生活：每个章节包含链接原理与商业、环境、健康、法律和学习等实际应用的内容，例如探讨优秀家长的特质及左撇子在右手世界中面临的挑战。 3. 研究重点：各章节强调实证研究，但不偏离中心主题。每章都会有两则关于研究的深入探讨，详细阐述假设、方法、结果及其解释，帮助学生理解研究的真正运作。 本课程的设计旨在通过以上方式帮助学生深入掌握心理学的基本原理，即使没有固定的教学大纲，学生仍可获得丰富的知识和技能。
We found some techniques to help our students understand and appreciate them. First, we realized that psychology actually did matter to our students, but that we needed to make it clear to them why it did. We therefore created a more consistent focus on the theme of behavior. One of the most fundamental integrating principles of the discipline of psychology is its focus on behavior, and yet that is often not made clear to students. Affect, cognition, and motivation are critical and essential, and yet are frequently best understood and made relevant through their links with behavior.The sympathetic nervous system matters because it has specific and predictable influences onour behavior. Piaget's findings matter because they help us understand the child's behavior (not just his or her thinking). And social cognition matters because our social thinking helps us better relate to the other people in our everyday social lives. We emphasized that what seems true might not be true, and we need to try to determine whether it is. The idea of empirical research testing falsifiable hypotheses and explaining much(but never all) behavior-the idea of psychology as a science was critical, and it helped me differentiate psychology from other disciplines. Another reason for emphasizing empiricism is that the Introduction to Psychology course represents many students' best opportunity to learn about the fundamentals of scientific research.This course is designed to facilitate these learning outcomes. We have used three techniques to help focus students on behavior:1. Chapter openers. Begin our focus on behavior by opening each chapter with a chapter opener showcasing an interesting real-world example of people who are dealing with behavioral questions and who can use psychology to help them answer those questions. The opener is designed to draw the student into the chapter and create an interest in learning about the topic.2. Psychology in everyday life. Each chapter contains one or two features designed to link the principles from the chapter to real-world applications in business, environment, health, law, learning, and other relevant domains. For instance, the application in Chapter 6 "Growing and Developing"-"What Makes a Good Parent?"-applies the concepts of parenting styles, and the application in Chapter 3 "Brains, Bodies, and Behavior" is about the difficulties that left-handed people face performing everyday tasks in a right-handed world.3. Research focus. We have also emphasized empiricism throughout, but without making it a distraction from the main story line. Each chapter presents two close-ups on research- well-articulated and specific examples of research within the content area, each including a summary of the hypotheses, methods, results, and interpretations. This feature provides a continuous thread that reminds students of the importance of empirical research. The research help students understand how research really works.
