Current practices in the undergraduate Psychology of Learning course were assessed through a survey in which a questionnaire probing the teaching of the course was sent to 238 4-year colleges and universities in the United States. Fifty-four percent of the questionnaires were returned. Learning courses were taught at all but 10 of the schools that responded. The course typically is one of several that can be selected to fulfill requirements for the major in psychology. The course orientation and content varied widely from cognitive to eclectic to behavioral, and laboratory requirements existed in less than half of the courses. The effects of these practices on behavior analysis are considered and several suggestions are made for teaching behavior analysis in the Learning course and elsewhere to undergraduates.
通过一项调查评估了本科学习心理学课程的当前教学实践,该调查向美国238所四年制学院和大学发送了一份探究该课程教学情况的问卷。54%的问卷被收回。除了10所回复的学校外,其他学校都开设了学习课程。该课程通常是可供选择的几门课程之一,以满足心理学专业的要求。课程导向和内容差异很大,从认知到折衷再到行为主义,并且不到一半的课程有实验要求。文中考虑了这些教学实践对行为分析的影响,并针对在学习课程及其他地方向本科生教授行为分析提出了一些建议。
