Journal Details
Instructions for AuthorsCONTENT
Teaching of Psychology is devoted to improvement of the teaching/learning process at all educational levels from secondary school through college and graduate school to continuing education. The journal includes empirical research on teaching and learning; studies of teacher or student characteristics; subject matter or content reviews for class use; investigations of student, course, or teacher assessment; professional problems of teachers; essays on teaching; innovative course descriptions and evaluations; curriculum designs; bibliographic material; demonstrations and laboratory projects; and news items. All submissions should include empirical assessment of the contribution. The empirical assessment should directly measure the impact of the technique on student learning (e.g., a pretest/posttest analysis of learning) rather than student self-report of learning. TOPICAL ARTICLES include a range of content from broader to more specialized applicability. Articles may vary in length from 2,500 to 7,000 words. The editor may solicit manuscripts deemed to be of significance to the readership. METHOD AND TECHNIQUES papers are those describing demonstrations, laboratory projects, other learning/teaching devices, or instrumentation (1,000–2,000 words). Articles for this section must include some type of empirical assessment of the pedagogical effectiveness of the technique. FACULTY FORUM items may cover the full range of the journal's content policy, including commentary, criticism, or opinion. Brief contributions of innovative procedures, courses, or other materials are especially appropriate (1,200 words or less). Some Forum articles may not require evaluations. TECHNOLOGY AND TEACHING articles examine the integration of technology and the teaching of psychology. Articles may review innovative uses of existing or new technology, present an original tutorial on how to use a technology, or assess the effectiveness of technology for the teaching of psychology. Articles describing technology-assisted teaching methods should include empirical verification of the utility of the technique. Articles may vary in length from 1,500 to 3,000 words.
