Sustainability and the Psychologically Literate Citizen
No full textThe current ecological crisis is of enormous relevance to psychology teaching, as it is essentially a problem of human behaviour. Despite this, psychology has been slow to contribute. As a result, our environmental problems deepen, while our knowledge, skills and values as teachers of psychology remain largely untapped. This chapter urges psychology educators to consider how they can nurture the psychologically literate citizen through a focus on ecological sustainability. We present four case studies from New Zealand psychology departments. Two are laboratory exercises, one based on a social dilemma, the Tragedy of the Commons, and the other on perceptions of animal cognition. The third is a fourth year class that is open to students from different disciplines. The final case study is an action research and teaching project designed to create a sustainable school. Participating in these experiences highlights for students the ecological issues faced by people everywhere, how to cooperate in the sustainable and equitable use of resources, how cognitions and moral reasoning are affected by culture and how to use one’s psychological literacy to effect social change.http://librarysearch.auckland.ac.nz/primo_library/libweb/action/display.do?fn=search&doc=uoa_voyager2186757&vid=UOA2_

Fostering psychologically literate citizens: A Canadian perspective
No full textThe chapter, "Fostering psychologically literate citizens: A Canadian perspective" was written by the listed authors including Steve Charlton (Douglas College Faculty). This chapter argues that a desired outcome of an undergraduate education in psychology should be the development of psychological literacy. Psychological literacy includes skills such as critical thinking, statistical literacy and numeracy, effective communication and the ability to apply psychological literacy to one’s life. The chapter further argues that students should be encouraged to develop into psychologically literate global citizens. This latter concept extends the notion of psychological literacy in that it further emphasizes social responsibility, ethical commitment and the application of psychological literacy at both a community and global level. To illustrate these concepts the chapter discusses how psychological literacy may manifest itself through some of the key social issues facing Canadians today: volunteerism, environmental sustainability, illicit drug use, health care, and multiculturalism and diversity. Methods and examples of how to foster psychological diversity are presented through classroom exercises, case study and curriculum development. --From publisher description.Psychologically literate global citizenPsychological literacyVolunteerismMedical literacyService learningPublished
Student perspectives on the value of research participation
No full textUndergraduate (UG) students are the most frequently used participants in psychological research. Here we report on the results of a qualitative exploration of the research participation experience, as seen from the perspective of UG psychology students. Following retrospective ‘opt out’ consent procedures, 143 first and third year psychology students’ responses to a research methods exam question, “You’ve been invited to participate in a number of research projects this semester; what have you learned from this experience?” were de-identified, transcribed, and thematically analysed. The results provide a rich, nuanced and contextually sensitive account of the perceived value of the research participation experience. The major theme to emerge was that participating in research provides psychology students with increased insight into the research process. We propose that this educational gain may be further enhanced through greater integration of research participation with the teaching of research methods.<br/

Taking clinical psychology postgraduate training into the next decade: aligning competencies to the curriculum
No full textClinical psychology training programmes in Australia are under pressure to increase the number of graduates they produce and to ensure that these graduates meet professional competencies. This Australian Learning and Teaching Council funded project aimed to better align clinical psychology training curriculums to competencies in several key areas, including competency assessment, e-therapy training models and models of university-based clinic operation, distance (especially rural) training concerns and clinical supervision issues and strategies. The project team has drawn together an advisory board of relevant stakeholders, scoped the relevant empirical literature, surveyed current students and programme directors, and is in the process of transferring innovations developed in one university to others across the country. This chapter provides a summary of important structural components of the proposal, key process issues, and important outcomes to date, as well as overarching future considerations
