Material Detail

This guide provides information and resources on introducing the field of psychology as a science in an Introduction to Psychology course. All resources are Open Access and can be downloaded or added to a Course Management System (LMS) via the hyperlinks. 

The guide is organized according to traditional units or chapters. For each topic, the guide provides an overview of the topic, key learning objectives, suggestions for incorporating the cross-cutting themes of social and cultural diversity, variations in human functioning, ethics, applications, and research methods.  Each unit provides recommended resources including free, open-source readings and supplemental content including videos, activities, and teaching resources,

Integrating these resources into your course may benefit students by alleviating the need for a paid textbook, but has the added benefit of helping you to better align your course structure with the APA recommendations and better advance a view of psychology that is contemporary, integrative, and broadly relevant.

Although classified as a course, this could easily be used as a textbook.
