The curriculum for PSY 2012 is being modified by the incorporation of 21st Century skills. This goal is being met in a variety of ways: 21st Century-oriented Syllabus: The PSY 2012 syllabus incorporates the 21st Century skills in both the objectives of the course and the learning activities conducted in the course. Career-related interview project (expandable to shadowing and identification of a resource speaker for the class): The purpose of this activity is to provide students with the opportunity to interview a person working in a Psychology-related field to learn about the use of 21st Century skills in the interviewee’s career. If the student desires further exposure to the person and his or her career, a shadowing experience may be scheduled. Each student also will identify any of these persons whom they believe would be willing and appropriate resource speakers for the class. Individual
learning activities: A variety of individual learning activities keyed to
the FIPSE core skills has been developed for each unit of study including:
crossword puzzles, on-line unit review questions and assessment tests,
and videos with accompanying worksheets. These
activities are published on the professor’s website. Group learning activities: These activities, conducted with small groups of students working on unit-related projects keyed to the FIPSE core skills, include: group discussions of the results of assessment tests, gaming, problem solving, diagnosis of disorders, and surveys. These group activities also are published on the professor’s website.
