In this one-time class, students will learn what psychology is and the main goals of psychology. They will then learn a brief history of how psychology has developed over the years. Then, students will get a brief introduction to the modern perspectives of psychology. Students will also learn about the subfields of psychology and some career options for in the psychological field. Learners do not need to have any knowledge of psychology prior to taking this class. Information will be presented in interactive Nearpod slides and there will be room for questions and discussion throughout. #academic CLASS RECORDING POLICY: When you enroll in this class, you are paying for the live class, just like if this were an in-person class. I do not share recordings of my group classes in order to protect the privacy of all learners—many parents do not feel comfortable with other families having access to videos that include their child, and to maintain the experience of the class—this class has been designed for a live experience that includes video and interactive slides. Watching a recording while simultaneously attempting to independently navigate the slides and activities will not result in the same experience.
Learning Goals
Students will gain a basic understanding of psychology, including the goals, history, modern perspectives, and subfields.
