2 Rationale: Psychology education involves students in learning about the science of psychology. The overall aim of the course is to have students seek, analyze, create, understand and discover while gaining a further appreciation of psychological science. As students explore the variety of topics in this course it is the ultimate goal that we, as educators, will help students excel as human beings as they gain a greater understanding of human behavior. The psychology course is organized to foster students growth, development, and understanding of cultural diversity. At the end of the course, students are expected to have an understanding of psychological concepts, theories, research findings and applications. Organizational Structure: this introductory course may include, but is not limited to the following units of study: Unit Title Time Unit 1 Introduction to Psychology 5 hours Unit 2 Learning and Cognitive Processes 25 hours Unit 3 The Workings of the Mind and Body 30 hours Unit 4 Altered States of Consciousness 30 hours Unit 5 Development Across the Lifespan 30 hours Total Hours 120 *Some of the learning outcomes have been adapted from the following teaching resource: Kasschau, R. A. (1995). Understanding Psychology: Teacher s Edition. New York: McGraw Hill. Unit 1: Introduction to Psychology 5 hours This first unit sets the context for the course by describing psychology as an empirically-based, scientifically-conducted, discipline. This unit introduces students to the origins, development, and perspectives of psychology, setting the foundation for a consideration of research methods and theories by which the students can then begin to acquire knowledge about this field of study.

Unit 3: The Workings of the Mind and Body 30 Hours This unit studies three key topics: the body and behavior, sensation and perceptions, and motivation and emotion.
