摘要

背景:很多学生在课堂上使用笔记本电脑做笔记;然而,即使笔记本电脑被用来做笔记,它们也会对学习成绩产生负面影响。目的:本研究考察了状态依赖效应,以及笔记和测验方法对提高测验成绩的潜在影响。方法:参与者被放置在一个一致的条件下(手工记笔记并手工完成测试或使用笔记本电脑记笔记并完成在线测试)或一个不一致的条件下(手工记笔记并进行在线测试或使用笔记本电脑记笔记并手动完成测试)。结果:结果显示,与使用笔记本电脑做笔记的学生相比,手写笔记的参与者在测试中的总体表现更好,在概念性问题上也表现得更好。我们没有找到国家依赖效应的证据。结论:目前的研究表明,手写笔记可以提高学生对材料的编码能力,并为学生备考提供更高质量的外部存储空间。教学启示:强化这样的观念:手写笔记可能有利于课堂信息的测验表现,并能提高学生在课堂上的表现。背景:以往的研究表明教师行为与学生努力之间存在关系。然而,目前尚不清楚学生的期望(即教师行为的重要性)在这种关系中发挥了什么作用。目的:利用教师行为量表,探讨教师行为是否在学生对教师行为的重视程度与学生努力程度之间起到中介作用。此外,本研究还探讨了哪些特定行为会影响学生的学习努力。方法:采用中介分析和逐步多元线性回归对横断面调查资料(N = 159)进行分析。结果:有证据表明,教师行为在学生对教师行为的重视程度与学生努力程度之间起中介作用。28种教师行为中有4种与学生的努力有显著的关系:创造性和有趣,对教学充满热情,快乐/积极/幽默,促进批判性思维。结论:了解学生的期望(即教师行为的重要性)对提高学生的努力至关重要。教学启示:快乐/积极/幽默与学生努力度呈负相关,而创造性、趣味性、教学热情、促进批判性思维与学生努力度呈正相关。策略,它们不太可能受到样本和变量的概念以及内部有效性威胁的挑战。我们的研究结果为学生在研究方法课程上的缺陷提供了清晰的地图,并提出了改变学生对此的态度的方法。背景:认知评估课程是所有学校心理学课程的必修课。然而,目前还没有发表的研究探讨了这门课程的学习目标。目的:本研究的目的是考察认知评估课程的内容覆盖和学习目标的复杂性。方法:五名评分员以美国心理协会评估相关的六项标准为样本,对美国各地学校心理认知评估课程的90个教学大纲进行编码,并使用六个布鲁姆分类标准对其复杂性进行分类。结果:大多数的目标是解决较低水平的复杂性,由布鲁姆的分类法测量与少数教学大纲包括学习目标解决广泛的水平。根据标准样本对目标的分析,学习目标最常涉及管理准确性和测试选择,而整合结果和与建议的联系往往缺失。结论:教学大纲所包含的学习目标在数量、复杂性和内容上都有差异,但主要侧重于低复杂性技能的学习。认知评估课程的学习目标没有反映学校心理学家多样化的评估实践需求。教学意义:为了使培训与未来的实践保持一致,建议教师回顾学习目标,注意复杂性和内容标准。职业生涯导致他们在第一年就辍学了。这给那些大一新生人数较多的课程,比如心理学入门课程,提供了一个吸引这些学生的独特机会。目的:本研究的目的是探讨FG学生的新视角,以进一步解释留任和成就障碍。方法:193名心理学入门课程的本科生在本学期的三个不同时间点完成了关于心理学内容的任务价值的调查。 学生的考试成绩也被作为学术成就的衡量标准。结果:分析表明,与非FG大学生相比,FG大学生报告的成本价值和成本价值在整个学期中的增长水平更高。结论:FG大学生面临的学业挑战可能与他们对心理学课程教育经历的评价有关。教学启示:教育工作者应该积极尝试通过增加与教授的接触,方便获得帮助,以及作业的清晰度来减轻FG大学生面临的学业障碍。教学采用面对面的形式。受过先前技能训练的学生随着时间的推移保持了他们的学习成果。结论:与实习经验相比,面对面的基本帮助技能教学对学生共情沟通的改善最大。教学启示:对于移情沟通技巧的发展,可以推荐实习的先决条件和技能应用的指导性脚手架。确定有效和省时的方法来教学生如何从学术资料中写作对学生和教师都有好处。在普通心理学课程中,学生们学习了提高这类综合写作的具体方法。干预是短暂的,包括在课外观看在线教程,花一个课堂时间在老师的指导下练习写作样本。学生们用这种方法为一项揭露心理学迷思的海报作业写文献评论。与没有学习这种具体技巧的前一学期相比,学生的写作在大多数综合测试中得分明显更高。这表明,一个简短的指导教学的具体应用,配合有限的课堂教学,可以帮助提高这一重要方面的写作。背景:教师和学生都在不断地寻找学习的预测因素。目的:本研究探讨心理学导论和计算机科学两门课程学生自报考试成绩与学习技巧之间的关系。方法:采用在线调查的方式,对249名学生使用认知科学中10种技术的程度进行测量。我们还测量了学生的毅力、元认知技能、分心和拖延症。结果:学生对特定学习技巧的使用在两门课程之间有所不同,其中实用的练习测试技巧得到了很好的使用。学生们报告的间隔练习水平较低。毅力和元认知技能都与许多学习技巧显著相关。虽然没有任何学习方法可以预测心理学入门课程的考试成绩超出GPA预测的方差,但使用间隔练习可以预测计算机科学学生的很大一部分方差。结论:学生对学习技巧的使用因课程而异,虽然与GPA和考试成绩有关,但并不是学习方差的唯一预测因素。教学意义:我们讨论了教师如何帮助学生在心理学入门课程中做好准备,以及未来学习研究的关键需求。方法:73名心理学本科学生在两个角色扮演中扮演学生咨询师与虚拟客户互动,一个是通过桌面,一个是通过头戴式显示器(HMD)。学生们就他们的经历提供了反馈。结果:70%的学生认为体验非常有趣,引人入胜,身临其境,82%的学生更喜欢HMD模式的呈现。虚拟角色作为苦恼客户是可信的,96%的学生感知到角色所表达的消极情绪比积极情绪要多。大多数学生(64%)的情绪从体验开始到结束都有所改善,但14%的人情绪有所下降。学生们(95%)同意这些经历将是心理学课程的宝贵经验。结论:我们的研究结果证明了虚拟角色扮演体验受到学生的喜爱。教学启示:本文提出的方法代表了一种实用的方法,为在校和在线本科生提供虚拟角色扮演体验。在心理学课程中引入CREATE系统,作为促进多元文化意识和技能的策略。创建一个具有多元文化意识和包容性的班级对学生来说至关重要。异步课程缺乏面对面的接触,限制了教师与学生建立关系的能力。无数的教学研究提供了将多元文化、社会正义和身份认同融入同步课程的策略;然而,对异步课程的研究相当少。 问题陈述:当前的目的
