Introduction
This bibliography focuses on the application of scholarship to teaching practice and student learning within the academic discipline of psychology. The general overview provides the context for current debates and national perspectives relating to the purpose of psychology education. Further sections focus on the psychology curriculum and its development, clinical psychology training, the application of psychological principles to psychology learning and teaching, teaching practice and teaching methods, student misconceptions, and ethical literacy. Teaching statistics, research methods, and the research project has a separate section before moving on to teaching activities and resources, student issues including student diversity and employment, teaching of psychology to other professions, and the scholarship and research into teaching and learning psychology.
General Overviews
Historical, national, and philosophical perspectives have influenced psychological research traditions and the role of psychology as a profession which, in turn, impact on psychology education. In addition, differing educational traditions and systems influence the extent to which psychology education follows the scientist practitioner model for training professional psychologists, is embedded within liberal arts study programs, and integrated into the training of other professional groups. As psychology curricula become increasingly internationalized, it is necessary to understand and compare the various models for training psychologists and teaching psychology students. McCarthy’s three edited volumes (McCarthy, et al. 2007; McCarthy, et al. 2009; and McCarthy, et al. 2012) provide a valuable insight into the diversity of psychology education and distinguishes between countries that focus solely on training professional psychologists and countries such as the United States and Australia where many students study undergraduate psychology education in its own right. Trapp and Upton 2010 offers a European perspective while Plattner and Moagi Gulubane 2010, Abramson and Bartoszeck 2006, and Lahar 2008 provide perspectives from developing countries.
