3. Why should we learn the course in a English context As the member of national base of science, every junior student should show his/her psychological literacy at a higher level. As a subject, EDP research and materials are most presented in English. Bilingual education is helpful for your career development. EDP is not for you to make a living, but a course for you to make a life.

Psychology majors who want to apply for a teacher’s professional qualification must be enrolled in this course, if they have not already done so.

10. Principles of the course From Chinese to bilingual instruction to English instruction Memory – understanding- application- generation Active and self-regulated learning plus cooperative learning

11. Learning and instruction models This course will be taught using diverse methods. Traditional reading of the text and lecture/discussion will be used, however, this will be done in a student-centered fashion so that both the students and the instructor are engaged in a dialogue and a process of discovery about "truths" in the application of psychology to teaching. More progressive methods will also be used in this course. "Labs" will be used so that students will engage in Problem Based Learning. Students will use technology to apply psychology theory, not only to earn a grade for this course, but also to solve real-world educational problems.

12. COURSE GOALS By the end of the course, students should be able to: ⑴ develop an appreciation of the role of educational psychology in answering practical problems in education. ⑵ state the characteristics of students at different grade levels by studying the many facets of human development, explain their implications for learning and instructional design.

13. COURSE GOALS ( continued ) ⑶ describe individual differences and problems of adjustment in the classroom in an attempt to answer the questions such as "Why do some students learn more than others?" and arrange these in the form of a model of the teaching/ learning process. ⑷ describe the major theories of learning and apply them to classroom planning, management and instruction; discuss the difficulties teachers face when putting educational/psychological theory into practice.

14. COURSE GOALS ( continued ) ⑸ explain what motivates students' behavior and how to facilitate and motivate students' learning. ⑹ discuss and apply concepts of standardized and non-standardized assessment techniques to the teaching process to best assess student progress.

24. Attendance There is a strong correlation between class attendance and college success. Class involvement enables students to learn more actively and effectively; therefore, class attendance is essential.and will be counted by signing the roll sheet every class day. Students who have perfect attendance will receive 15 points. If missing four classes or more, whether it is for “excused” or “unexcused” reasons, the absences will result in an automatic FLUNK in course.

25. Discussions and Lectures Students will be broken into small groups at the beginning of the semester and engage in discussions about topics important to educational psychology on various days throughout the semester. They will be required to write brief journals as a reaction to in-class discussions about the readings, and those who read the required readings carefully, participate in the discussions actively, and think critically about the topics, will get good mark.

26. Field Experience The course requirement is that students spend 4 clock hours as aides to teachers in the public school system. The hours spent are in regular classroom settings which contain primary or middle school students. At the end of the semester, the teachers for whom student aides have worked will be asked to complete an evaluation of each student's performance in the classroom. This evaluation will be considered in determining the course grade.

27. Exams There will be 2 "in-class" exams throughout the semester. One is mid-term exam, another is final exam. Exams will consist of multiple choice, matching, short answer and essay type questions, and will cover material covered in the lecture and in the text. The exams will NOT be tests of rote memorization; rather, they will test students’ knowledge through application, analysis, synthesis and evaluation of the course material. The exams will also assess students’ ability to apply the information they have learned in class to real- world situation.

28. Make-Up Exam Policy Make-up exams are only offered if students miss an exam due to EXTENUATING circumstances and have WRITTEN DOCUMENTATION to support your absence. Minor illnesses such as colds and headaches do not constitute extenuating circumstances. Make-up exams will be essay (not the same thing as short-answer), must be cleared with instructor prior to the date of the exam. Students who fail to show up for an exam and/or do not get permission to take a make-up will receive a zero for that exam.
