Interteaching: From the Psychology of Learning to the Learning of Psychology

In recent years, educators have bemoaned the state of American education, citing several reasons for its purported decline. One potential contributor to this negative state of affairs is the continued use of teaching methods that fail to capitalize on how people learn. In this presentation, I will discuss interteaching, a teaching method that has its conceptual roots in the psychology of learning. Specifically, I will explain how to implement interteaching in the classroom, show how it is grounded in well-established psychological principles, and discuss the growing body of research that has found interteaching to be an effective way to promote student learning.

Student Engagement and Increased Learning:Implementing Interteaching Into Introductory Psychology

Today’s students live in a fast-paced world and few traditional-age students have ever been without a means of communicating with peers. Studies have shown that lecture alone is less effective in terms of student performance (Saville & Zinn, 2005). As a result, many professors have moved away from simple lecture format to include more hands-on learning, more relevant material and more student interaction. This may be easier to do at the upper levels where students have been trained to think more critically about material and have an expectation that they will be tasked with more responsibility for their learning. Introductory Psychology provides a platform for bringing students into the field provided we capture their interest. It is crucial that we implement creative teaching techniques in these courses. Interteaching was introduced into sections of the Introduction to Psychology course at Lehigh Carbon Community College in Spring 2011. Interteaching has been shown to be a successful tool towards engagement by creating more discussion and shorter lectures targeted to student interest. This presentation will include an overview of interteaching as implemented at LCCC, sample preparation guides and probes and will demonstrate the efficacy of the method through a comparison of student outcomes using both interteaching and non-interteaching. This interactive session will give participants an opportunity to explore the decision-making process to implement interteaching as well as the successes and failures of various components. There will also be an opportunity to see the extent of outcome assessment that is available on the individual student level as well as the course level throughout the semester.

Clever Hans:The Horse That Won’t Go Away

Psychology’s backstory is a rich resource for demonstrating the value of scientific thinking. For example, the story of Clever Hans creates opportunities to teach our students about the failures of social cognition such as confirmation bias and hindsight bias. But the lesser known details of the Clever Hans affair describe classic conflicts within psychology: ESP versus science, everyday observations versus careful experimentation, popular beliefs versus evidence-driven thinking, generalizing from non-human animals to humans, and the importance of testing competing theories. In addition, the personal dramas surrounding Clever Hans demonstrate the raw choices we face when confronted with cognitive dissonance while the public drama mirrors the challenges we face every day as teachers of psychology. Finally, the striking parallel between the Clever Hans affair and unfounded faith in Facilitated Communication as an intervention for autism makes Clever Hans a voice that our psychology majors need to hear as they make critical career decisions.

Teaching Statistics in the Classroom by Combining Technologywith Interpretation: Preparing Students to Be Lab Ready

This session presents a unique approach to using technologies in the classroom. It describes how Excel® and IBM SPSS® can be incorporated in the classroom to better prepare students for careers in science—all while adding only about two to three classes worth of instruction time. Sample exercises are provided to illustrate how useful these technologies can be and how students can benefit from the inclusion of these technologies in the classroom. The talk describes how students acquire valuable skills in the classroom that are needed in a research lab, including the ability to think critically about statistical outcomes displayed in Excel® files and IBM SPSS® output tables. Additional strategies are illustrated in the talk to demonstrate how to introduce statistics in a way that fits well with the fundamentals of research methods and science. The aim of this talk is to introduce a teaching strategy that can immediately prepare students to actively participate in a research setting, such that students can: (1) use Excel® and IBM SPSS® software to enter and analyze data, (2) interpret statistical outcomes and identify the outcomes in IBM SPSS® output tables, (3) apply their knowledge of statistics to understand research design, and (4) think critically about why they are using a statistic, how it can be interpreted, and what it says about the hypothesis being tested. In all, the talk is organized using the acronym LAB READY: Link problems sets to Excel® and IBM SPSS® data files; Allot some time to introduce how to use the technologies you use in the classroom; Breakdown the barriers between statistics and science; Redefine how students think about science; Emphasize interpretation over calculation; Adapt problem sets to published research; Delineate the use of statistics and research design by applying the decision tree; Yield to a pace that is realistic and conducive to student learning.

Community Partnerships: Fostering Goodwill and Creating Experiential Learning Opportunities for Students

Establishing Community Partnerships is a unique way to provide experiential learning opportunities that are also sustainable. The Psychology Program at Bay Path College has established a number of partnerships with local organizations with good success. These organizations sponsor our students and in exchange, Bay Path provides a package of “benefits” to these organizations, such as a free course, to compensate for their involvement. In this way, students are provided with valuable professional skill development and networking, and organizations receive much-needed help on a continuous basis and fostering goodwill with the community.

"That Sample's Too Small," "That Sample's Not Random," and Other Tall Tales

Once upon a time, there was a psychology student who thought every study needed a large, random sample that could generalize to the population of the world.....

Does this story sound familiar to you? As teachers of psychology, we share stories about the wonders and power of the scientific method. But our students don't always appreciate the narrative. They get distracted by the long-lived misconceptions that seep into our classrooms—tall tales about the need for large samples, the supreme standards of random selection, and the "problem" of individual differences. I have been listening to their tired tales for lo! these many years, and I've got some tricks for encouraging better thinking. I'll share suggestions for helping students become systematic, appropriately critical readers of our research stories.

The moral? Students can learn to let go of random and recognize the good stuff, too.

Applying the Science of Learning in Psychology Curricula:Design, Implementation, and Assessment

This session provides an overview of some powerful science of learning principles—based on research in the area of cognitive psychology—that have been applied in psychology courses and that have been demonstrated to have educationally significant impact. I focus on the design and implementation of instructional interventions as well as on the assessment of their impact on student learning outcomes. Results from two representative projects completed through a Davis Educational Foundation sponsored Cognition Toolbox Project are described: (1) Use of low-stakes in-class and online quizzes in an effort to promote long-term retention and application of academic material (Test-Enhanced Learning, Retention, and Transfer); (2) Use of distributed practice and repetition (interleaving) to enhance students’ success at identifying appropriate statistical tests for research designs. The objectives of this session are to:

1. Inform participants of the scholarship on how the science of learning can improve educational outcomes in higher education in general, and in psychology courses in particular.

2. Describe the Cognition Toolbox Project, using illustrations from instructional interventions done in psychology courses.

3. Involve participants in identifying a learning issue in a psychology course and then in designing a cognitively-based intervention that includes a sound experimental design to assess the impact of the intervention on the identified learning outcome.

The Contemporary Classroom:Older Students and Intergenerational Formats

Dramatic demographic shifts are compelling institutions of higher education to consider curricular opportunities and approaches which engage older learners along with traditional-aged students. And, increasing numbers of older adults are relocating to living environments which provide new educational opportunities. In this session, we discuss intergenerational formats used in Lasell College classes which bring together undergraduate students and older Lasell Village residents. We also explore how teaching older students challenges instructors in unique ways, and offer an opportunity for instructors to generate intergenerational teaching ideas for their classes.

Joint Participant Idea Exchange Session I

Idea Exchange 1

Log Cards: Personnel Communications With Unintended Effects

William Sharp, PsyaD.(Wheelock College & Boston Graduate School of Psychoanalysis)

Large classes, demands of a curriculum and outside distractions can make connections with students difficult to maintain; yet we teach a very “person oriented” field. By using log cards (5 x 8 index cards turned in weekly) as a structure to allow personal communications between teacher and student, this author found (1) a way to evaluate his teaching week to week as opposed to waiting for formal testing and (2) interests and future lesson ideas. An unintended effect however was (3) the discovery of a parallel process going on between the course material and students’ development in the course.

Idea Exchange 2

How Should Instructors Intervene When StudentsSelf-Disclose Mental Health Concerns In Class?

Benjamin T. Wood, Ph.D. (Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts Postdoctoral Fellow - Williams College Counseling Center)

How should instructors intervene when students self-disclose mental health concerns in the classroom? When teaching undergraduates about abnormal psychology and counseling, instructors may find that students share personal narratives about struggles with mental health. Self-disclosure in classrooms can promote active-learning and engagement. However, students who self-disclose may also experience negative judgments from their peers. How can instructors promote a learning environment in which students feel safe enough to explore psychological topics that are personally relevant without incurring prejudice? This participant idea exchange will offer instructors the opportunity to discuss ways of intervening when students self-disclose mental health concerns.

Unlocking the Potential of Undergraduate Teaching Assistantsof Introduction to Clinical Psychology: Nuts and Bolts

Jasmine Mena, Ph.D. (University of Rhode Island),Kathryn Martin (University of Rhode Island) &

Amanda Meunier, B.A. (University of Rhode Island)

Undergraduate teaching assistants (UTAs) are increasingly becoming involved in university classrooms. The role of a UTA has the potential to enrich the experiences of students, professors and the UTAs themselves. This exchange will present information about the experiences of two undergraduate students and a professor of an introduction to clinical psychology undergraduate class. The audience will be able to discuss the history of UTAs; common duties and responsibilities of UTAs and professors; gains, costs, and conflicts experienced by UTAs and professors; ethical considerations; and recommendations for UTAs and professors.

Interteaching: Applications of Evidence-Based Teaching Methodsin Psychology Education: Tools and Tips For Success

James L. Soldner, Ph.D., CRC, BCBA-D (Assumption College) &Diane M. Myers, Ph.D. (Assumption College)

In recent years there has been a significant movement towards the concepts of evidence-based practice in psychology, including psychology education. Recently, interteaching, referred to as a “mutually probing, mutually informing conversation between two people” has been introduced as a user-friendly alternative to traditional teaching practices. A growing body of empirical support has found interteaching to positively impact student learning and satisfaction. This data-based presentation will provide an overview of interteaching and its key components and a description of past and present interteaching research. A discussion of the benefits of interteaching methods for both instructors and students will also be provided.

Creating a Program for the Helping Professions: Beyond the Senior Thesis

Jennifer L. Weiner, Ph.D.(Fisher College)

Capstone courses in traditional undergraduate psychology programs tend to require an extensive literature review, commonly termed a Senior Thesis. While that is a very valuable tool, this presentation offers a different approach to the Senior Thesis and details a unique project which encompasses several components of a student-created program that would theoretically help the communities being served. Sample projects will be presented.

Idea Exchange 1

Bridging Psychology and Education:Making Psychology Relevant to Pre-Service Teachers

Elida V. Laski, Ph.D(Boston College Lynch School of Education,

Applied Developmental and Educational Psychology)

Many teacher education programs require their students to take psychology courses, such as Child Development and Psychology of Learning. The purpose of this idea exchange is to discuss ways of making the research presented in these courses relevant and meaningful to pre-service teachers, so that it is likely to influence their future instruction. A number of questions will be posed for discussion, including: Which topics might be most important for this student population? What approaches can be used to make the implications of the research apparent? Ideas and a sample syllabus from a Psychology of Learning course will be shared.

Idea Exchange 2

Developing and Assessing Communication Across the Curriculum

Tara Broccoli, Ph.D. (Mitchell College),Jennifer Mauro, M.S. (Mitchell College) &Catherine Wright, Ph.D. (Mitchell College)

Student success is a multidimensional construct that includes the development of skills/abilities (e.g., communication). However, while the development of skills is valued, faculty members may rely on general education courses to increase these abilities in students. Ability-based education (ABE) is an approach to teaching and learning that emphasizes utilizing course content to develop key institutional abilities. As such, students and faculty may focus on the enhancement of skills in a developmental fashion. This participant idea exchange will introduce techniques to develop and assess communication skills interdependently with course content across the curriculum.

What Instructors Should Know About Public Speaking Anxiety

Toni-Ann Mastando, B.A. (Marist College) &Peter DelRosario, Ph.D. (Marist College)

Public speaking anxiety (PSA) is the number one fear of Americans. Many students experience this issue as their coursework may require oral presentation assignments. Students with PSA tend to avoid these public speaking situations and, in extreme cases, drop out of courses with this requirement. Research has yielded positive results for PSA reduction techniques, and has recognized multicultural issues with regards to PSA among diverse students. Students may benefit from their instructors’ awareness of these issues and their application of PSA reduction techniques. Students may be better prepared to enter the workplace that requires public speaking.

Idea Exchange 4

How to Survive as a New Instructor: Discussing Challenges in the Early Years of Teaching

Ariana F. Young, M.A. (University at Buffalo, SUNY), Shannon P. Lupien, M.A. (University at Buffalo, SUNY)& Jordan D. Troisi, Ph.D. (Widener University)

Drawing from an informal national survey of new psychology instructors, participants in this idea exchange will have the opportunity to discuss the challenges they have encountered in their first few years of teaching. Topics will include effective time management, maintaining confidence, managing student (mis)behavior, handling mistakes, and any other topics of participants’ choosing. The overall goal of this idea exchange is to have participants share their questions, concerns, and experiences, as well as use the collective wisdom of the group to come up with methods through which they can become more effective instructors.

Bringing Service Into Action: Community Based Research as anAlternative to Traditional Research Courses

Diane Mello-Goldner,Ph.D. (Pine Manor College)

For the past 10 years, Pine Manor College has adopted an Action Research Model which is based on a Community Based Research approach. Our Community Based Research two-course sequence involves research that is conducted by, for, or with the participation of local community members in the Boston area. This session will involve a discussion of the successes and problems associated with this type of model to teach statistics and research design at the college level. Ideas and a sample syllabus will be provided.

(Cornell University)Getting the Most For Your Money:

The Hedonic Return on Experiential and Material Purchases

Introduced by Jeanine Skorinko, Ph.D. (Worcester Polytechnic Institute)

Thomas Gilovich is Professor of Psychology at Cornell University and co-director of the Cornell Center for Behavioral Economics and Decision Research. He received his B.A. in Psychology from the University of California and his Ph.D. in Psychology from Stanford University. His research focuses on how people evaluate information in their everyday and professional lives, and how they use that information to draw conclusions, form beliefs, and embark on courses of action. His research has been funded by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute of Mental Health. His books include How We Know What Isn’t So (1991), Why Smart People Make Big Money Mistakes (1999, with Gary Belsky), Heuristics and Biases: The Psychology of Intuitive Judgment (2002, with Dale Griffin and Daniel Kahneman), and Social Psychology (2004, with Dacher Keltner and Richard Nisbett). He is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and a Fellow of the American Psychological Association, the Association for Psychological Science, the Society of Experimental Social Psychology, and the Society for Personality and Social Psychology.
